Are you dilated at all? It makes a difference if you are. I was almost 4 CM when my doctor did the sweep. She broke my water after that but mine was during induction.
@jamiladenise95 no it just can be easier and often start progressing more. I was induced for medical reasons. Is there a reason why your doctor wants to do the sweep?
@jamiladenise95 oh ok. I know some women it worked for and others it didn't. Now it can help dilate you more (if you are at all when they check you again) but not all women will go into labor from it.
