How long after your membrane sweep did you go into labour?

[ColorMeFamous]

Thank you! Contractions stopped but now I feel like I have a really bad flu?

interesting? I heard some people get nausous during labor maybe you do too? I never have though.. OH i really hope this is it for you though.

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Yeah I've been puking but my contractions don't hurt anymore. This happened with my first. I guess only time will tell. I'm sort of hoping I have her but wouldn't mind her waiting until the 18th haha

hmm, I was always told that if you didn't go into labor 48 hrs after the sweep then it failed, though I went into labor almost 72 hrs after my 40 week sweep, and went into labor at 40 weeks and 3 days. Anyway I hope this is it for you, GL and fx

Exactly 12 hrs later...and i was only 1cm and told to be unfavorable.

now I feel like I have a really bad flu?

Both times before my water broke, I had flu like symptoms a few days before it happened! Sore ache body, headache, etc. I seriously felt like I had the flu and then a few days later my water broke! It happened twice so far and I distinctly remember w DS2 looking back though my journal w DS1 to see if it
Had happened w him and it def did!

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Oh wow that's so weird!! Yeah all symptoms went away as of this morning. Guess she just isn't ready!! Maybe at my next one in 5 days I sort of wanted her on the 18 anyway

@mummybean how long after did you have your baby?

Had one at 40 weeks with my first son and it didn't work (went into labour at 40+5). I just had one on Tuesday at 37+1 and it didn't work either. We're going to try again this Tuesday at 38+1. Sure hope it does the trick!

ColourMeFamous, maybe you already said, but why do you want her to come on the 18th?

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Oh wow!! Good luck! Hope it works for you!! Should definitely update my next one is on the 18th at 39 weeks 1 day

Last year on July 18 I passed my miscarried baby. I just feel like it would be very symbolic if I had her that day! Almost like she knew I wasn't ready a year ago, but now I'm fully ready to have her..? Idk if that makes sense!

 

[Harley Quinn]

Aww, I'm sorry for your loss. I hadn't noticed that in your signature. And yes, that makes sense about wanting to have your girl on that day. But either way it will be special!

 

[ColorMeFamous]

It's okay! I wasnt ready for her then but I'm ready for her now yes! Whatever day she comes would be amazing but I definitely have my hopes up for the 18!! I'm begging and pleading with her haha!

I am 38 weeks 1 day and had my first membrane sweep today! The doctor told me its more affective after your first baby (this is my second!) I am 3 cm dilated already just wondering everyone's experiences I had one with my first but it didn't work haha

I had a sweep with my daughter, I was at 3 cm when I had the sweep and went into labor just about 12 hours later, had my daughter 24 hours after that. A friend of mine had sweeps with both her kids and neither did a thing, with her first she wasn't even dilated at all, and with the second she was 4 cm. It's a 50/50 shot, but it never hurts to try!

Usually if it is going to work you'll start contracting within 24-48 hours of the sweep. Any later than that is pretty much a coincidence that you're starting to labour naturally

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Awe!! Well I'm glad it worked for you haha! How far along were you??


Well it would appear it didn't work for me this time. Maybe next time! I have another one in 3 days!!

Sorry I didn't read all the posts and didn't see it hadn't worked for you!

I was 38 1/2 weeks when I had it done, had been dilating since 34 weeks so doc put me on bedrest until 37 weeks. She swore I wasn't going to make it out of January. I felt like she was between my legs ALL the time, it was the most uncomfortable thing ever. I walked around 3 cm for weeks. She finally took pity on me and did the sweep lol. I was primed and ready however, so I probably just needed that little push. I still stalled out at 6 cm at the hospital. Broke my waters and it went full swing again. Labor is a funny thing. You worry you're not going to have time to get there once it starts, but baby always has his/her own timetable. My younger brother had been in an accident that nearly killed him and left him paralyzed the November before, and my daughter came on his birthday. I went into labor Tuesday morning at about 4 am, and she didn't come until 4:41 am the next day. She was holding out for her Uncle's birthday, just like he had told me for months. Even when doc swore there was no way I'd still be pregnant in February. It was pretty neat.

Good luck with sweep number 2!!! Hope it works

It's okay!! Okay so I was about as far along as you were! I was 38 weeks 1 day! My dr said she would be surprised if this next one didn't work so I guess we shall see!! I'm so sorry to hear about your brother very neat that your little one waited until his birthday to be born though! That's what I'm hoping for! I passed my miscarried baby on July 18th of last year and I'm hoping Babygirl comes on that day!

Thank you!! I hope it does too!!

 

[HappiestMom]

I had one with LO at 40 weeks on a Monday..nothing that day other than some cramping and then lost some plug for a few days....then another one on Thurs/Fri and went into labor Sat at almost 41 weeks...

Thank you, its ok though we are all just grateful he's alive and with us. DD adores him, and brags that they share a birthday. He has adjusted well to life in a wheelchair and has a good attitude about it. He has even moved into his own place and drives a car(hand controls made this possible), things we never thought he would do! Its been 6 years since the accident.

I'm very sorry about the loss of your little one, it would definitely be awesome if baby came that day. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
