what is a membrane sweep ? lol just curious

@kiarra.j, Same thing I was wondering! Well I know it's to start dilation but how is it done?🤔🤔

Right 🤔 the whole ending of pregnancy confuses me lol I guess i'll be more familiar when the time comes

@prettyprego,

I'm curious too, and I doubt I'll learn about it in labor cause I'm having a home birth. So no idea what.most these things mean 😕

@kiarra.j, 😂😂 Just do some research!

@miicat, aww well on the bright side your having a home birth that should be interesting

@kiarra.j Yeah I'm excited about it! Nothing like getting to trust and listen to my body fully at such a beautiful and important time 😊

@prettyprego, yesss definitely will !!! or ask my ob

@miicat, most definitely is beautiful

@kiarra.j, Yes that too! Lol!

I had my membranes swept today. It hurt really bad. She dug into my cervix with her fingers, and she swept them around the amniotic sac to detach it from the cervix. It's supposed to kick start labor. And I've been cramping and having contractions since I left. They did it to me because I havent made any progress and she said it looks like I will go overdue. So I guess this is the first step to help with bringing labor on. @prettyprego @kiarra.j @miicat

@ayyeblackberry__, Oh ok! Thanks for explaining! I quite figured if would hurt. Hopefully it start your labor process!

@ayyeblackberry__, omggggg😩😩 sounds like it hurts hope everything goes well for you bby

Omg that doesn't sound fun! My cervix checks hurt already-hope I don't have to get that done! @ayyeblackberry__
