A member asked:
39 weeks pregnant at 38 week i was 3 cm dialated and 50% effaced i am getting a cervix sweep tomorrow morning. whats the estimated time for labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Roughly about 3 days: Some estimates state that after stripping of membranes (a.k.a. "getting cervix sweep"), about 50-60% of patients go into labor within 72 hours. I'm finding that in my own practice that percentage is really more like 40-50%. Good luck!
