It was painful and did nothing for me.
It worked for my first I got my membrane stripped on Wednesday then started cramping after that Thursday I started contractions but they were spontaneous and not bad enough to go to the hospital it was early labor but on Friday my water broke and I had my daughter on Saturday at 6am. It was more uncomfortable not so much painful but it just depends on the person and the pregnancy.
didnt have the sweep. castor oil worked for me
Didn't work for me & I had one yesterday & last Wednesday. VERY PAINFUL for me so I regret it because it didn't help me at all-not even to dialate.
Everyone's different though, gl! ☺
