41 wks and 3 days - membrane scrape

So I have an apt today and got the midwife to scrape membranes and about two hrs later I lost my mucus plug.. does this mean labor should be soon??

  • Maybe... And might not. Good luck!

  • Hopefully!  Had my membranes swept yesterday and lost my plug today as well.  But other than that, I have no signs of labor.  It's a wait and see situation unfortunately.  
  • Had my membranes swept last week, lost my mucus plug and then nothing. Had them swept again yesterday and still nothing lol I also am not really dilated and cervix is long and firm.. I think it may make a difference how far along your body is labour wise already
  • I'm 41+3 today and had mine swept on Tuesday and Thursday at 11.30am. I had some period pain Wednesday afternoon and Thursday very early morning which didn't result in anything, although midwife did say on Thursday that i had already dilated a bit more and that the sweep was even better. I had a show about two hours or so after the Thursday sweep and some very light period pain here and there but nothing has come if it either. I also started having the constant urge to go number two, which i thought was a good sign based on some early labour info i had read.

    Currently 12.30pm Friday for me and will be going in for induction at 6.30pm. Hoping that there's at least been a bit more progress and that i will need minimal intervention, considering i was hoping for a natural birth.

    I still think it was worthwhile doing them, there was a chance of it working to bring about labour in the comfort of my own home, but it just looks like little miss is way too comfy in there!

    Good luck! Hopefully you'll have success, there have been other mamas who have had successful sweeps very recently.
  • I had my membranes swept at my Tuesday morning appointment. I was crampy all afternoon, started active labor at 3 and had DS at 8pm. I was already having a lot of braxton hicks as well as 4cm dialated with my third baby. I was supposed to be induced today so we thought we would try it. Definitely worked for me!
