ummh yea
-actually, it will only start labor if the body and baby are ready. some women it helps get labor started, others it doesn't have an affect at all.
I had my membranes swept on 9th october.... 11am, My daughter was born 10.10.10 at 13.58 after contractions starting ar 5.15am..... So i would say yes it does work!!!!!
yes
If the membranes have already ruptured, it may be difficult to stop premature labor. If infection of the membranes that cover the fetus (chorioamnionitis) develops, the baby must be delivered.
If labor does not begin naturally after 24 hours, most doctors will use medications to start labor. Increased risk of infection the longer time between PROM and delivery.
No that is the fluid the fetus has lived in all these months. It's not induced but has always been there. The rupture of membranes ("water breaks") which releases the amniotic fluid occurs at delivery naturally, caused by the labor process, or it can be artificially ruptured by your health care professional to start labor. In the case of the latter, you may hear it said that delivery was "induced" by artificial rupture of membranes.
PPROM is an acronym for Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes. To explain it, we should break it apart: * Rupture of membranes (ROM) is the normal breaking of the amniotic membranes that occurs during labor. Most people call this "breaking their water." * Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) occurs when the amniotic membranes are ruptured (water breaks) before actual labor has started. Sometimes, physicians may rupture membranes prematurely in an attempt to induce or augment the labor process. PROM indicates this was not an intentional ROM * Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) indicates that there is premature rupture of membranes before the child has been carried to term (> 36 weeks gestation).

when did china labor start
Sweeping Membranes / Stretch & Sweep Sweeping the membranes involves your medical carer gently separating the membranes from the cervix by vaginal exam. This may be a little uncomfortable for some women and on the other hand, some have said they didn't feel much at all. Some spotting or bleeding may occur as a result and some find they have irregular contractions after a sweep. However it has been shown to be quite effective. A sweep will be performed on women who are at term and have no other complications, e.g. placenta praevia.

General labor includes many non-skilled tasks. An example of this is cleaning, sweeping, moving, and lifting. Most general labor jobs require very basic tools such as a broom, mop, or shovels.
Labor usually refers to unskilled tasks that anyone can do. It could include moving lumber from one place to another, sweeping, unloading deliveries, helping tie down loads and similar work.
Having your membranes stripped does not always work. I had mine scraped and never went into labor. They may have to do it more than once or just break your water to make you go into labor.
Right after I spoke. He stopped sweeping and came to me.
