I also had a membrane sweep today. I am 37.5 weeks along, 3 cm open and 80% effaced. This is my 3rd child. Even though my cervix is soft and almost all the way ripe, it's still very far and hard to reach. My doc said that if my body is ready for labor anyway, it will stimulate labor within about 2 days. If my body isn't ready, nothing will happen besides cramping and maybe some light spotting. My mucus plug has also come out. Good luck!

No. I have been dilated to 3 cm for over a week now. I was at 4 cm when I was induced with my first. My doctor said that one lady came in dilated to 10 cm (that's completely dilated) and was not in labor yet. She had to be induced.
