Has anyone had their membranes swept in the past? If so, did it work? How long before labor started?

RandiLee - 63 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had it done 3 days ago, and it hasn't worked yet.....maybe soon? But I did hear that if it doesn't work within the first 48 hours, then it doesn't work at all. I did have false labour for 2 whole days after, and did have my "bloody show"....that's about it.

Spike - 63 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes they did it to me, but dint have all that much luck, they ended up hooking me up to the drip after 6 hours cause we just couldnt afford to wait for things to start themselves. i could however feel the contracts start almost as soon as it was done they just wernt very strong, fact was tat they never realy got very strongat all, even with the help of the drip.

cadesmommy - 63 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It worked for me. Less thank 36 hours later I was in labor. Granted I was over due already so that might of played a part. Before my sweep I was 1 cementer and my water just randomly broke 36 hours later. If I get pregnant again (which I plan on) I will def have it done again.
