Just wondered how long it took to go into labour after having a membrane sweep. I have had one this afternoon, lo was due yesterday.

I was due on the thursday & had a sweep then & had another sweep on the friday, went into labour on sunday & had lo on monday (4 das overdue!!)

Ooh, it could be any day now then. My hubby has his two weeks off starting monday, it would be ideal to have the baby over the weekend. How are things with you Hilary?

hi
I had sweep on the wed one day after due date. Went into labour next morning and had LO by lunchtime. I think it worked but maybe was just lucky coincidence!

Hi Im new to this, but am due to have a membrane sweep a week on wed and then another twice a week till i go into labour. I will be 39 wks a week on weds. I was wondering if it actually works, or if it works only when u are overdue? Sarah x

hi, i was given a sweep at 37 weeks, i had one on the wednesday and then one on the saturday afternoon and my lo was born at 3.30am on sunday.

hi i had a sweep and contractions started that dinner time i had lo next day xxxx

So, it seems to work for most people then? Getting a bit nervous now....

Hi I had sweep, but still went a week over due. get yourself some good sex and plenty of walking.good luck

So Denise, didnt the sweep work then? Was it uncomfortable?

It's five days later, lo is six days overdue and I'm still waiting.....Managed a couple of nights half decent sleep so I'm feeling a bit less run down. Having my husband home with me helps too. The sweep itself wasn't pleasant but wasn't as bad as anticipated. How are you Sarah?

Hi Denise

I'm fine, a bit tired & a bit of back ache but not too bad otherwise. How are things with you. Any sign of the bub yet?

Hi Denise,

Im fine thanks, got alot of shoulder pain (wierd) but thats it... only 16 days to go (well 8 if the sweep works!). Keep feeling its gonna happen sooner... wishful thinking. Getting nervous and excited. You must be pulling your hair out at the mo - personally Im not v good at waiting for stuff! Even babies!!!

Are you feeling ok?

Fingers crossed you little one will be out soon ( and mine too!). Getting fed up now - but it will b worth the wait!

Hello Ladies,
Had a good walk today, travelled home via lots of bumpy roads and humped back bridges, hubby made a curry when we got back, it's just a matter of time... Oh, and I've told my hubby to brace himself for some exercise later! Not that I can do much in my current, erm, position!
Keep yourselves in good spirits. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you, well almost everything!!!!!
