membrane sweep, will they give it to me???

Question

hi there im just wanting to know every1 elses storys on membrane sweeping and also do you think they will give me a membrane sweep?? if you have had one of these can you please tell me what happend and how far along you were in pregnancy, i am at the day after my due date now! i have been in the "latent stage" as my midwife calls it for 56 hours now with irregular contractions and they are just not progressing into consistant ones!! i cant sleep cause they wake me, i had my bloody show around about the same time these "contractions" started also. i am so buggered!! i just want to know if they can do this membrane sweep thing as my midwife told me that the hostpital wont allow her to induce me because i am technically over due, i am talking to her again later she said for more options if nothing had happend yet. so i am hoping this will be an option now...

well i had my membranes spept 3 times...the third time i had it done was yesterday morning....today i finally lost my mucus plug.....but im getting induced tomorrow....it feels like she checks your cervix...but a lot more painful...it hurts lol.... she just puts her finger in your cervix and rotates it in a circle to seperate the bag of water from the cervix wall.......and iv had irregular contractions since midnight last night.....

if you are over due thats a good time to be induced what the crap? anyways...ask her to as you call it sweep your membranes i'm sure she will. when i went into labor they gave me pit to hurry it along and they stripped my cervix every about 30 mins to an hour. it helped me dilate and efface quicker. maybe she will do that to you and you can just chill in the office of something.
