Can I request or ask my ob to do a membrane sweep or membrane stretch or do I have to wait until he brings it up.. And…

I asked mine around 38 weeks and she said they wouldn’t do it until my due date but of course every doctor is different so I would definitely ask.

@oliviajohnson0915 I have 2 different obs they like swap weeks at the office I'm going to one always disagrees with the other it's so complicated :/ hopefully I can get one to answer cause my next appointment is my last before my due date

Wow really the office I go to has 6 different doctors but they all seem to be on the same page but around 36 weeks they had me start comming every 2 weeks an at 38 every week until my due date.

@oliviajohnson0915 mine started me every week at 36 weeks cause I have high blood pressure but they can't seem to agree on a thing.. Your lucky yours are all on the same page

my midwife wont do it till im 39 weeks! Every ob is different. ❤

and to add, its VERY uncomfortable!!! If you think getting checked fir dilation is bad, just wait to get swept!

@kaylaberg7777 thank you for being honest, the dilation checks are rough but if the sweep will help it'll be well worth it

@slewis1526 The sweep didnt do anything for me my last pregnancy, but I hope it works for you!!!

@kaylaberg7777 I'm hoping my ob will even let me have it he won't talk about induction.. He won't talk about the sweeps.. He wouldn't even check to see if I was dilated I had to ask my other doctor. He's weird about baby's cooking the full time and doesn't talk to me about shit..

@slewis1526 Oh gosh, I wouldnt like him!
