membrane sweep.
did you guys ask your doctor for one or did your doctor ask you if you'd like to have it done? Also, does it hurt? Lol. I'm due Friday and I have an appointment Wednesday and I'm thinking about asking him to perform one, last week at my appointment I was 2 centimeters dilated and I don't think I have dilated anymore. ?

Hey, it doesn't hurt just a bit uncomfortable, feels like a smear test. Go for It! X

Some doctors will ask if you want one, especially since you're so close! But if not, just ask and they should have no issue doing it. Also, like pp said - it's a little uncomfortable but not painful!

I think it depends on pain tolerance. It was more than uncomfortable for me. It hurt. But mostly everybody says it's uncomfortable, so maybe I just have a really low pain tolerance lol

I asked for one, it was uncomfortable and for me it made me start cramping immediately but no biggie.

Okay thank you for your input ladies! I never had one done with my first as I never dilated until I went into actual labor and that was at 40w&4d. I hope I don't go that long with this baby!

I have an appointment tomorrow and my due day will be 9 days away 26th.. is it too early to ask them to do one? What do you ladies think?

I don't they do them unless your dilated. But don't mark my words on that!

I asked and boy am I glad I did. It's how we found out my baby is footling breech. I can't imagine the panic or risks if I had gone into labor and gotten to the point of pushing without knowing.
