Does a membrane sweep hurt?

I had my last midwife appointment today. My due date is next Saturday n she's told me to call up at 9 am to book an appointment for a sweep. Does it hurt.

It's not much worse then getting your cervix checked, it's a similar feeling

I had it done during my last pregnancy.  It is uncomfortable,  kind of feels like someone's tugging, scratching and pulling on your insides but it's a pretty quick procedure.

Never had it but im sure its more painful then getting ur cervix checked, which im not a big fan of. Im pretty sure it can cause a lot of cramping after too.
