Did anyone have their membranes sweeped?

How soon after did you go into labor?  My Dr. did it today at my appt bc I was 1cm dialated, 90% effaced and 0 station.  I am having contractions now, but no discernable pattern so I am really hoping it's the really thing and not more Braxton Hicks.  TMI warning- I also passed a blot clot thingy.

Re: Did anyone have their membranes sweeped?

  • I did, twice, and it didn't work for me. I lost my MP after the first one, but it wasn't bloody so it wasn't my real "show." The last time it was done I was 2-3cm and 80% effaced. . . I hope it's it for you though! I can't believe you're due already!
  • I did it on a Thursday afternoon (fingertip dialated) and got my bloody show on friday and my water broke saturday night...so it was within the 24-48 hour limit as they told me it would be if it was gonna work... all friday-saturday I was feeling crampy and started having mild contractions too. When I got to the hospital Saturday at 9am I was already 5 CM! Good luck to you! Hope everything goes smoothly!
  • I never did, but CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're so close :) Good luck and keep us posted!
  • i did but it didn't work. i did have lots of bh the week before i went into labor, drove me crazy faking me out all the time.
  • sounds like it may be it... 

    was the bloody thing like a mucousy blob with blood???

    because that could be your musous plug.... and im thinking youre about there!

    the bloody show is ALWAYS a good thing! =) labor dust! GL!!
