Has any mamas made progress with their recent membrane sweep?

I was 1cm dilated and had cramping before they did it.

I had a membrane sweep on Tuesday. So far just losing my mucus plug. She stretched my cervix from 1 to about a 2.5. I had cramping before too. I’ll be 40 weeks on Friday

awww man hope you have a safe delivery. I had one today

Avatar

thank you❤️❤️🙏 hopefully yours does something

Avatar

how do you know how much they stretched you?

Avatar

I’m only 38 weeks. Fingers crossed these babies come out before induction is needed.

Avatar

thank you, I’m scheduled for another one in the morning if this one doesn’t get labor going

Avatar

she told me when she did it. That I was a 1 and she stretched to about a 2.5 while doing the membrane sweep

fingered crossed forreal cause I have a c section scheduled for Monday.

I wasn’t told, I was told I was 1cm and she did the sweep and I won’t find out till Tuesday if I’ve dilated anymore. 🥲

Avatar

are they only doing one sweep?

how many weeks are you

Avatar

the doctor might not have stretched you. That was technically my last appointment.

Avatar

that was technically my last doc appointment before my c section. I have one ultrasound for a biophysical tomorrow and I’ll probably ask for another one. But I might not see a doctor so idk

Avatar

next Tuesday is my last one before induction on next friday and we plan on doing another sweep but I’ve been losing my mucus plug the last two days.

Avatar

same I’m hopefully she’ll come. But I can’t be induced cause I had a emergency c section for my first and they are afraid it’ll cause a uterine rupture

Avatar

m hoping she comes before then but she’s being stubborn 😂
I’m hoping not to have a c-section but I give you props mama! C-sections are no joke!

Avatar

So I had my 2nd sweep this morning and I’m 2cm dilated. And these cramps are getting intense.

Avatar

hopefully that’s good news for you 💪🏾. Mine have all but stopped so I’m hoping they will do a second one today.

Avatar

I hope so. I’m doing a water birth so my midwife’s are very natural and gave me some herbs to start taking to help.

Keep me updated on how it goes afterwards.

Avatar

no second sweep for me unless they can squeeze me in tomorrow. But I got a bunch of spicy stuff and pineapples lol see if these other tricks work.

Avatar

do you have dates too? My midwife also encouraged me to have sex or orgasm to help as well.

My contractions have started for sure but not lasting enough yet. I’m actually getting my hair done now lol

Avatar

nope not dates. Just spicy Thai food and my broke water at 4am

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?
