yes, it helps speed the process. so long as the baby is head down

@yanelmarie,

awesome ,thank you. can that be done even if baby is not engaged?

but hunny it doesn't hurt being done but getting in the car 15mins later, the pressure you'll know the baby will come soon. I went into labor a few hours later

your ob removes the mucus like later on your cervix with their hand. it exposes your bag of water and causes it to rupture. it's a non medicated induction
