doctors appointment today!

Im 38w and 5d andvim getting my membrane sweep today. I haven't been checked if I am dilated yet so we will find that out today too im assuming. Im alittle worried because I heard it is painful and can cause bacteria infection.  Any ladies have this and how did it go? Do you think I should just not get it?

So I went and I am 2 cm dilated and she is very low already. Got the membrane sweep and It wasn't painful, just a little uncomfortable.  I hope this moved things along.
