So went to the dr today and he swept my membranes. He also told me my cervix is open and I'm 50% effaced. Have any of you mommies gone to labor after your membranes were swept?? I have had some spotting and a little cramping but nothing major.
My 39 week appointment I was fingertip dilated and 80% effaced. Swept my membranes and nothing.. Then the next week at my 40 week appointment, I was 1 cm dilated and still 80% effaced. He swept me again (approx. at 3 pm) and started had contractions starting at 5 pm. By 10 that night I went to labor and delivery and was 3-4 cm dilated and 100% effaced. Was in labor all night, pushed at 10 am the next morning and had my daughter. I walked a lot after he swept my membranes the second time and I think that helped.
