A member asked:
Am i aloud to ask my doctor for a membrane sweep a day before my due date thats when my next appt. is and i want him out now?

You can ask: You can ask your doctor but that doesn't mean that he or she will consider it to be prudent. Don't know your due date. Obstetricians generally don't want to do things to induce delivery until the baby's lungs have matured adequately (or unless there is a health issue that warrants it).
