Membrane sweep

I just got mine done about 3 hours ago. Hurt like a son of a gun! Doctor said I could have my water break within 2 days. What are your stories? How long did it take you?

I hope it happens soon, I'm so ready to be done. My body is cleaning itself out, if you know what I mean... So maybe she'll come soon. I get another one on Wednesday, which is my 39+1 week mark.

I just got mine done yesterday and have had horrible cramps hip pain and back pain. I was dilated to 1cm and 50% effaced. I hope it helps me get farther!

I had one done at 38 weeks with my vbac baby. I was 3 cm 30% effaced. It didn't put me into labor but that coupled with walking and squats helped me dilate over the next few days. I started labor at 39+2 at 5cm 60% effaced.
