PREGNANCY: Sweeping MembranesFrom: anona (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 29 May 2008 18:46:18 -0500 (CDT)
Is it common practice for doctors to do this without first asking the patient? I am due this Saturday (31st) and at my check up on Tuesday, I think my doctor did this while checking my cervix. She asked if I wanted to be induced, and I said no. I want to let her come when she is ready, unless there is a problem. But the exam hurt REALLY bad (I've had them every week for weeks now and they have been fine), I could hardly walk afterwards, I had bad contractions the whole rest of the night, and then started losing my mucus plug. When she was doing the exam, she said, "I know it hurts, but I am helping you." I didn't ask her what she meant by that, but I'm pretty sure that is what she did. I have been in pain since. Is it common practice for doctors to sweep the membranes without telling (or asking) the patient? I'm not mad, I just don't know what I'm supposed to expect as this is my first pregnancy.
