Ladies I need some help! I was told today that at my appt next week they will do a membrane sweep if I choose to (I'll be 39 weeks). I've read that these can be painful.. does anyone have any input?!
I'm definitely all for speeding things up! there were lots posting about it on another pregnancy board I read saying how painful the doctor made it and so that kind of freaks me out lol, fingers crossed it will work! @brynsmommie @mrsmclaren
It just felt like cramps to me! The bonus was the dr swept my membranes and accidentally broke my water and I was off to the hospital !!!!! It can often help with speeding things up :)
I had it done with my last two children, for me it was more a discomfort but it's pretty quick. I had also heard it was painful and it wasn't nearly what I had braced myself for! Good luck with your delivery!
keep in mind, everyone's pain tolerance is difference. What others find painful, you may not.
