It’s highly unlikely you’ll make it through pregnancy without being offered a sweep (AKA stretch and sweep, or membrane sweep). Don’t worry, no brooms involved. Many people have heard of them but in our experience most people have very little knowledge about what is involved, whether they are actually effective and what the risks may be. That’s where your favourite friendly, unfiltered doulas come in! In this episode we explore everything you want to know about sweeps so you feel more confident in having the conversation should it come up (it probably will) and when making the decision about whether to decline or consent to one. As always, it’s 100% your choice.So, what do you want to know?

Do sweeps work? Do they hurt? Should I have one? Will it mean I don’t need an induction? Are there any downsides to having a sweep? Are sweeps safe? We’ll answer all these questions and more, as well as share our own experiences...You won’t want to miss it!
