Hi -
Have just been told that although they'll induce me at 38 weeks they'll also Do a membrane sweep at 37+3 (in one week). Had no idea about this so they kind of caught me a bit off guard. They said that "there's evidence to suggest" that it can help bring on labour naturally and therefore help avoid going through a full blown induction (I'm Sure that's the case when you're 41w+ Pregnant ....)
As I said I wasn't prepared for this so I'm not sure how I feel about it ..... Does anyone (Ds and Non Ds) have any experience with this ?? A part of me feels that I wish they'd leave my body and my baby alone but then again I understand that they are probably trying to do whats best for baby ....
I'm just not 100% convinced about it ...
Feedback greatly appreciated .....
