Membrane Sweep

Hi Ladies,

Just had a mambrane sweep today - had some discomfort straight after but after a little sleep/relax had nothing since....

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of Membrane Sweeps and their Successes - or not?!?!

    got sweep at 40 weeks but midwife was too gentle and nothing really happened, got another at 41 weeks (mw said she had a 100% record and wasn't going to fail with me), It was quite rough but she said " see you in the unit on wednesday morning" Had some contractions after then nothing, a show the next morning and my waters broke that pm. i'll keep my fingers cross that things get moving for you and you have a nice christmas present this week!!!!!!

    Ah, Thanks for your replies ladies....

    Since the first sweep I have hod two others (three in total now) Looks like this little one is one stubborn little treasure!!

    They have booked me in for an induction on Wednesday evening - So I'm holding out all hope that he/she arrives before then - although somehow i think thats wishful thinking.x

    Thanks again for your sotries - meant a lot to be reassured.x
