Stretch and Sweep of Membranes

[leekee]

Hey all, Im currently 37 weeks along and my midwife wants to do a stretch and sweep of the membranes at my next appointment. (I will be 38+2 weeks)

Im just wondering who has had this and their experience. Also being baby number 5, how effective will this be? I usually have short quick labours and recover well.

Thanks all!

I had it with both girls and labour started within the next 24hrs.

Sunshine - I could kiss you right now!! Lol. I hope it works like that for me!! I kinda think after having a bus load of kiddies anyway, it shouldnt take the cervix too long to get moving once stimulated.
Fingers crossed!!

I had 3 and still had to be induced at 6 days over (hind water leak no contractions) was booked in for 2 days latter but everyone is different

Aww Aligater
I hope things are a little more effective for me. But if they arent, then its only a matter of time before it happens on its own!
