    What? I've had a membrane sweep. I hated it, it hurt & I don't recommend it. It may have worked, but if I could do it over I would have passed.

    Don't obsess over your due date. You could go over.

    It was uncomfortable getting and left me really crampy the rest of the day.

    I did go into active labor that evening. (I was having intermittent contractions since the day before), and baby was born less than 12 hrs after the sweep. Results vary.

    I was 41w2d when I had it done. I asked for it because they were having me schedule induction for a few days later.

    I had it done at 40 weeks. I wouldn't do it before my due date. It wasn't pleasant but not the worst thing either. I had mild cramping that night. Went to work the next day. Labor started about 30 hours after the sweep.

    I had a sweep at 40w3d it made me really crampy all day, and uncomfortable. It also didn't work, and was induced at 42 weeks.

    I had it with my first. It was so painful. I wouldn't do it again. I went into labor 4 days later.

    They were no big deal in my case. It was done with #2 and #4. It definitely did something with #2. That is our plan this time as well.

    Mine was not even a little bit painful when I had it done. No cramps, no discomfort, etc. On the other hand, I did go into labor the next day (my due date). All that said, I have no intention of having it done again until I hit my due date.

    Im only getting back onto check comments now. Thanks for all the advice ladies and reassurance I had the sweep done about 48 hours ago. It wasn't really painful just more uncomfortable midwife said baby is 3/5ths engaged and im 1 cm dilated with good soft cervix. I lost part of my mucus plug yesterday and have been very tired and emotional. Due date tomorrow so hope these are signs thigs are progressing.
