Anyone have any luck with getting a membrane sweep done? I am going to ask for one next week at my 38 week appointment…

I had it done and went into labor the next day. I was 39 weeks when I delivered.

I had it a stretch and sweep done at 38 weeks. My doctor specifically asked me if I’m ready to have the baby. I said yes so he did it. He told me to walk around for an hour and then head to the hospital. He was right. I was in labor and at the hospital within the hour.

I had 2 sweeps done, the first at 38 weeks and the 2nd at 39 weeks. after my 2nd sweep I went into labor 3 days later. Oh and please don't ever ever use castor oil like the first person who commented said they did... She's stupid and she's lucky her baby didn't die because death of a child is very common from that.

Are you dilated at all? You have to be at least at 1. I had one done at 39+3, I was 2cm dilated. Started having timetable contractions at 10pm (sweep was at 10am that day) admitted to the hospital at 3:30am, had baby girl at 9:14am, no pitocin needed 😁 BUT having a sweep is REALLY uncomfortable and the following hour is also terrible. Basically a very irritated uterus but worth it since it worked for me.

I had GD as well and my doctor did it 3 days before I was to be induced. When I went in to get induced I was already in labor!!! So it did work for me 😊 also on a side note... PLEASE don’t drink castor oil!!

So far I've had two with no luck, but it's different for everyone! For me it was very uncomfortable but worth it to try, just keep in mind it's not pleasant

I never had it done but I read lots about it and people told me about it that it actually works I drink castor oil that's what made me go to labor
