Did y’all membrane sweep hurt ?

I feel like my doctor was being super rough, she also has been very passive my entire pregnancy. But today we talked about the membrane sweep for the VERY first time. She stated she will checked my cervix and while down there WITHOUT even ever warning me that she was about to do the sweep. It was so unexpected and painful. Also how soon did labor start after the Membrane Sweep?

Membrane sweeps feel worse each time, imo. Had several with my previous pregnancy and they didn't do anything. Not getting any this time.

Mine was pretty painful, I even pulled a muscle in my leg during it. I had mine a few days ago no signs of labor. Little disappointed about the whole thing.

Omgg , okay lol and I’m still in pain is that normal too I just got it done today about a hour and a half ago

They should ALWAYS be asking for consent. Not cool! Mine didn't hurt but felt like a lot of pressure and discomfort. Had to breathe through it. I don't feel pain today that seems abnormal.

My dr tried to do one but my cervix was completely closed so I told her to stop. I’ll be 40 weeks Monday so if I still don’t go into labor by my due date Monday the. Thursday at my appointment I’ll have her attempt the sweep. I read that if the sweep feels painful and uncomfortable they are more likely to be successful. Some drs are too gentle and quick & it’s not so effective. Might be a good sign it was painful for you this means you could perhaps, potentially go into labor soon. Very unacceptable she did not have your consent to do the sweep on you! Smh sorry you endured such neglect :-/

I had mine done today (again for the 2nd time). The first one didn’t hurt as much, today’s sweep did but I heard that could be a good thing/naturally what happens when pulling the amniotic sac from the uterus lining? I didn’t feel any pain afterwards just during it though.
