Membrane sweeps?

edited July 2011 in Pregnant
How many weeks were you when you got it done and did it work for you?

  • Had it done at 4pm today, at 38+4.. I was having contractions... delivered at 10:31pm.
  • Omg! Congrats :D Were you dilated or effaced any when they did it and did they have a medical reason to strip them before your due date? @jenzoe1
  • Thank you.... I went in for a non stress test at noon yest and I was having contractions. She checked me and I was 2 with a soft cervix.. she sent me home but within 2 hours the contractions were stronger. She brought me back to her office, and I was 3. She said " I'm stripping your membranes", then head to hospital.. it was a fast labor.. however, she also stripped them last Fri, but it didn't do anything.. he just wasn't ready..
  • I bad mine done yesterday at 3pm. I an 4cm dilated her head a bag of water right there she said
    When home got on my ball and nada. Woke up this morning and feel blah but nothing so far. :(
  • With my first born, I had it done at the beginning of 38 wks and had him a week later. My sister had it done and her water broke then and there on the table. She had to rush home and pack her bags.
  • I'm back on the ball any other suggestion? My Dad is in town and would really like it to happen while he is here.
  • I had it done at 41 weeks with my first and I went into labor the next day.
  • What does membrane sweep mean? :ar!
  • I didn't mean to put that pirate lol he what it means
  • @armywife19 your ob sticks two fingers in you and they seperate your cervix from the membranes that surround the baby. And alot of times it will help labor start.
