after getting your membranes swept how fast did you go into labor ?!

2 days later for me, but it did prolong my labor and after thinking about the pain long and hard I'm planning to do again for this baby... crazy I know lol

That night!

@tenecia, how do you know it prolonged your labor ??

I was in pre labor for like 24 hrs at home and as soon as it changed to 5min apart my daughter was out 1hrs later I haven't even been in l& d for 30min when she was delivered.. plus my Dr told me that was a possibility..

I had mine done on a Friday and on Sunday night my water broke. Had my baby February 29 to give you an idea

I'm confused .. so would you recommend it ? @tenecia

@lilanne1927, what'd you think of it .? did it hurt

yes lol if you can stand the pain.. lol my crazy ass getting it done again so that should tell you

It did but not bad. It felt like a sharp period pain. To me it only hurt for a minute and while she was doing it. My midwife said sometimes you will spot for a little bit and sometimes you won't. I did a little bit but it didn't last long. If I have another child I will be getting it done again. Everything is more manageable better than being induced.

@tenecia, the pain of what ? @lilanne1927 isn't getting them swept considered being induced ? so it doesn't make labor more intense ?

that's not considered being induced because it's your obgyn that does it on a routine Dr's appointment.. to be induced you have to get admitted in the hospital first... @kendra218 it's done when she check to see if your dilated then use 2 or 1 finger to scrape the entrance of your cervics it helps you release your moucus plus fully and sometime jump start labor for the lucky few

Being induced is either petocin or they break your water.

I didn't lol. I got my membranes swept at 40 weeks and still had to get induced at 42w3d
