A membrane sweep is something ur doctor does to try n put u into labor naturally. They seperate the membranes from inside and basically it throws ur body into labor within 48. Hours if it works!  And @bentleysmommy! Thats awesome! I sure hope it works fr me. Im a little over 2 cm and 100% effaced!

Mine was a hair more uncomfortable then a pap... Though they use a metal thingy to reach my cervix. It's like a sucky period after from my experience. If u can try walking after. I found shopping with a cart to lean on easiest.

It is a little uncomfortable. It's a lot of pressure. But I didn't find it as painful as contractions. When my dr did it she ended up deciding to induce me that day anyway so I'm not sure if it did work or not.

Its alittle un comfortable . You may bleed alittle so dont freak if you see blood and slim. It never worked for me. it can make your belly have alot of brakston hicks contractions. And you might get a little sore down there as well. But ive read that it helps others so you never know
