Membrane sweep working To you ladies who have had a sweep that worked...

Got one one Wednesday morning I had some cramping and a yesterday and today had my show but nothing consistent. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow.

I had one done on Tuesday and nothing happened. I was 1 cm 50 % effaced. Went back a second one yesterday. I was almost 2 cm and about 60% effaced. They said I could try to come back today for another but yesterday’s was very painful. The first one was fine. Now I’m not too sure I even believe in the membrane sweep BS. It barely even caused cramps for me, let alone any contractions.

Got one done at 38+6 I was 1 cm at 3 PM felt just a bit of cramping. About 5 AM the next morning contractions were about 5 minutes apart. Contractions continued so I went to labor and deliver around 9AM. I was 5 cm displayed and was admitted. Baby was here at 3:16 PM! So for me it was about 24 hours. (This was also my second baby. I’m not sure if that has anything at all to do with my progression after the sweep)

I am getting a sweep done next Tuesday. I will be exactly 39 weeks. I haven’t been checked at this point so I don’t know if it will help. Time will tell ?

I got one done at 39 w, 39 w 5 d, now will get one again at 40 w 2 d which is tomorrow, and if that one doesnt work ill get my last at 40 w 5 d. If the last doesnt work, i get induced 3 days after.

Im 4 cm dilated, 80% thinned and between -3 and -2 station

Yeah your body really has to be ready for a sweep to push you over the edge. I had one today at 1.5cm and I can tell you it hasn't done much and I know it wont put me into labor. I've been crampy off and on but nothing to right home about. With my 1st son she did it twice and I don't think it ever sent me into labor. My 2nd son she did it at 5cm and that was the golden ticket. My body was ready I had him that night. And now today with my 3rd son at 1.5cm I know nothing will happen.

First member sweep at 39w&3d and only 1cm dilated. Did not feel much of a difference.

Second member sweep at 40w&3d and 2cm dilated. Some mucus plug came out and had some contraction but did not last.

Third member sweep at 40w&6d and 3cm dilated today. Having some more mucus plug coming out & Having some contractions but there to far.

Anybody? Feeling super discouraged right now.

To you ladies who have had a sweep that worked...

1. How dilated/effaced were you when the dr did it?

2. How did you feel afterwards?

3. How long after it was done did you start seeing results?
