@lauren_thelabornurse: Replying to @Gokufan1 If you’ve had a membrane sweep, did it work for you? Membrane sweeps are one of those things people either swear by or swear did absolutely nothing. 😅 The truth is they're not a guaranteed way to start labor, but they may increase the likelihood of going into labor on your own and decrease the chance of needing a formal induction later. A few things to remember: ✔️ They're optional ✔️ They can cause cramping, spotting, and irregular contractions ✔️ They may help labor start ✔️ They may also do absolutely nothing As with any procedure in pregnancy, it's okay to ask questions before saying yes. If you’ve had a membrane sweep, how long did it take for labor to start? #membranesweep #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliverynurse #birthprep #pregnancytiktok

With my last pregnancy I was 4cm dilated & she asked if I wanted my membranes swept, I said “um does it hurt?” She said “it feels like this” and proceeded to do it 🫠🫠

Hopefully getting mine today 🤞 contractions every 10 minutes for 8 hours on Monday and every 5 minutes for 5 hours on Wednesday, so hopefully this gets things moving!

Got a membrane sweep around 2:30 pm, started regular contractions around 5pm, in hospital by 8. Pushing by midnight and baby was born at 2 am. Now baby girl is 2 1/2 weeks and couldn’t be happier with my first time going through this 🩷 wish I found your page before ! Such good content

I got one done last week at 38+3! It didn’t put me into labor but it’s made my contractions stronger, I’ve had more pelvic pressure, and I’ve been losing my plug! I’m going to ask for another one at my next appointment at 39+5 😬 wish me luck yall

I’m considering this route if I make it to 38-39 weeks without too much of BP issues and want to try for a vbac. I can’t make my mind up! Only 22 weeks so I have time 😅 My daughter was an induction at 37 weeks for ghtn

If I’m already 3cm dilated and my water bag is full is there a better chance going into labor after getting a sweep? I’m currently 39wks 2days but I already had my 39 week appointment and declined it. Curious if it would’ve worked.

If they accidentally break your water you just get admitted for delivery I assume?
