what's a membrane sweep

and what does it do

@emileebri2522,

During a membrane sweep, your midwife or obstetrician will insert a lubricated finger into your vagina and feel for your cervix. Then she'll make fairly vigorous, circular, sweeping movements just inside the cervix to try to separate your amniotic sac from the cervix itself. This action sometimes causes the release of prostaglandins.

is ur amniotic sacred not supposed to be connected to ur cervix .... or what is the purpose of it

they usually do it if your over your due date but in my case its cause my blood pressure so it basically just jumpstarts labor

@emileebri2522,
