Membrane Stretch/Sweep

What are your experiences? I had one done with my daughter at 39 weeks and had her 6 days later (could be unrelated). I know this is all anecdotal, but I'm curious everyone's experiences/opinions.

I’ve had 3 attempts but I have never been dilated enough to have it done. With my first pregnancy I was a week overdue the first time they tried. I went into labor the next day and had him 60 hours later. This time they have tried twice but no luck.

With DD I had one at 40+1 and was in labor like 5 hrs again, I'll do it again at my 40wk appt this time.

I had one at 40+5 and went from absolutely nothing to a baby 12 hours later

I had one at 40+1 with DD and went into labour just hours later.

I had one on Tuesday bc I had some elevated BPs in clinic and my OB considered inducing, so she just went ahead and did it. Luckily, BPs came down and labs were all perfect (ie: not pre-eclamptic) so I got to go home. Haven't gone into labor yet, 3 days later 🤷

My practice wouldn’t do one on me with DD because I was GBS+ ... just something to keep in mind for anyone who has the diagnosis. I’m not sure if I have it this time yet.
