What's your view on membrane sweeps?
My due date is this comming sunday (dec 6th from the largest measurement of the baby) and i am thinking about asking my midwife to do a membrane sweep. I see her tomorrow, so i dont know if she’ll do it tomorrow or have me schedual it. But i really want to know the success rate of membrane sweeps and anyone’s experience with them. My cervix is not really far back so im not so sure it will be that uncomfortable. but i do not want to be induced with chemicals as i am trying for an all natural water birth.
I really just want him to come this week mostly because i don’t want a c-section and the father of the baby was a 9 pound baby. Im only 5′1 and before i got pregnant i could only wear size double zero jeans! Now i fit a size three, so i’m not very big and im worried about him not fitting through. =[
I had false labor last night. (so i was told, it was the weak uncomfortable feeling you get in your lower tummy when you get your periods and then it would spike to this sharp like feeling) but it went away. And im 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced as of last wednesday…
would it be a good idea to ask her to do it tomorrow or not? (Im pretty sure she’s going to check my cervix tomorrow regardless because im 39 weeks and thats when they do it. I asked to have it done last week because i was going over an hour away for a wedding this past weekend.)
Has anyone had this done and it worked or didn’t work… etc? Stories please!
Thank you guys. <3
Your midwife may not do it until your 41 weeks. We are not allowed to do them until then in the trust I work in. Your partners birth weight has little to do with the weight of this baby so dont worry about that. Ive seen many men who were whoppers and their babies are tiny when born. Membrane sweeps are around 50% successful usually on the second sweep. Sonunds like you could have bubba soon anyway if your having mild contractions and already 2cm dialated. Good luck.

i say if your midwife approves and you and baby seem healthy enough…..go for it!

my son is now 8 weeks old and when i was 38 weeks pregnant my midwife did a sweep but told me she was almost certain it wouldn’t work but 8 hours later i was holding my beautiful baby boy..the sweep was very uncomfortable but soooo worth it!

if your offered one go for it! it doesnt work for everyone and sometimes takes mroe than one to work but its worth a try! i had 3 this time and the last one worked! i had one at 40+2, 41 weeks and 41+3, she was born at 41+4 6 mins past midnight!
its worth a try!
mum to 3yr old, 2 yr old and 4 day old!
good luck

I’ve had one with both of my daughters and my personal experience is they dont work. I still had to be induced and both daughters arrived 14days late.
However, if your midwife says to give it ago and you and baby are healthy then there’s no harm in trying. At the end of the day i tried every old fashioned method of getting labour to start when sat at 10days overdue feeling very fed up and came to the conclusion that it will happen when nature wants it to happen and the baby’s ready not when would be most convinient for us!
Good luck in whatever you decide. Enjoy the last few days of peace!
