Being induced - overdue
Hey I'm 40 weeks today, I went to the my doctor yesterday set me up to be induced on my 41 week mark. She swiped my membranes and everything to see if I would go this week I'm 1 cm dilated but my cervix is thinned she said.. Has this happened to anyone ? And did the membrane sweep do anything ? Also, what's the induction like ? This is my first baby and I don't know what to expect .
Ok I have questions. .. I had my membrane sweep today... and I am been bleeding since I came ba c k from my doctors office... its light period how much bleeding is too much after having your membrane sweeped...
Oh and being induced is pretty much a long day. They start you off with pitocin to soften you cervix and start labor naturally. Your doctor might chose to break your water with a crochet look alike needle. Its a waiting game when you go in. You will know when you pass the membrane its a big chunk of mucous.
Im on pregnancy #3 and induced with both girls. Only on my second did the do my membrane and I had 2 natural births very fast and the most paiful part was actually the after effects of motherhood such as breastfeeding and urinating after you deliver. But nothing that doesnt pass in time. Every body is different and if u stress its not good for baby. Just relax and you should have a easy delivery.
Yeah they think I might need to have a c-section going into it because I'm 4'11 but they want to try. They don't know if my pelvis will be big enough
The sweep doesn't feel good to say the least
With my first I was 1cm when I got a sweep and within 36 hours I was in labor. It is very uncomfortable. I ended up needing a csection in the end though
Wow. I am scary
Yes I thought it was.
Is sweeping the membrane painful
I had the same happen to me with my 1st. The sweep helped me. I was scheduled 2 be induced on a Mon and she came the Thursday b4.So I never end up getting induced.
