36 weeks today! yay!! was wondering if it is too early to ask for a membrane sweep at my appointment today??? I was 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced last Thursday. Been up the past 3 nights with strong braxton hicks and cramping. But it hasn't progressed. Doc told me last week that my cervix was very ripe (tmi) lol and I most likely will not make it to my due date (12-31) I just dont want to be in the hospital on christmas! just want to help the process along you know?
Well I'm sure your going to be in labor before your due date if you have that much progress.
@xaviermom1221, @taija well apparently my doc doesn't do the sweep anymore. says the success rates are really low and tend to cause strong contractions without progress. On a good note I'm 2 cm but now completely effaced. And baby boy is at 0 so he's ready to go. Now if my body would just get on board lol
I used to, too, before I learned how. I'd always wonder why no one commented back, lmao. @xaviermom1221
Also, don't forget to tag the people when you reply to their comment, otherwise they can't see your response. All you do is type your comment then do this @xaviermom1221 so now she knows you replied. :)
Try to wait til your 37 weeks, though. 34 is technically the "safe zone", but 37 is what you want to really aim for to be absolutely safe. :)
@xaviermom1221, yeah she's confident I'm going to go into labor soon and was very adamant that I get to the hospital as soon as it starts bc of where he's at he will come quick. eeek!
