Hi girlies, just looking for a bit if advice. I'm 40 +2 and just had my first membrane sweep. Anybody else had one if these and did it help bring on labour? If so how quick did it work?

It's different with everyone. My last pregnancy I had seven and none worked. Had one this pregnancy that didn't work either. Some women have one and go.into labor shortly after. It's impossible to tell

I had it with my first lost plug next day had her 2 days later. So 3 days for me. My doc said she usually only sees it work within 24 hours. I did also walk and have sex after it was done (after 2 days) so dunno which of them or if all of them actually helped!
