Tuesday my doctor wants to do a membrane sweep, I've done some research on it and I'm pretty nervous. Has anyone had one before? Was it painful? and how long afterwards did you go into labor?

it's basically where your doctor will use her finger to irritate the uterus while detaching the amniotic sac from the uterus. Irritating it is supposed to help bring on contractions which will help you dilate, which brings on labor

Yes your just going to bleed for the same day and the next ,and cramp a lot

Taking her fingers and placing them all the way up to your cervix and scrapping
Stephanie·
it's just one way they use to try and induce labor

worked for me within 1-3 days but I also walked and had sex too

I've been walking about 3 miles a day since Monday so I'm hoping that will help. I'm hoping I'll just go into labor before I have it done lol
