Well had my 38 week appointment today, she asked if I wanted checked and membranes swiped. No progress from last week, still barely 1 cm If that. I said yes to the sweep, just to try...it was too painful for me, so I made her stop...I don't want to have to do it next week...I can opt out right? Doesn't seem like it really works unless your body/baby are ready, especially for FTM. Experiences?
