Sweeping the cervix, also known as cervical sweeping or membrane stripping, is a procedure performed by a healthcare provider to help induce labor. It involves inserting a gloved finger into the cervix and gently separating the membranes surrounding the amniotic sac from the cervix. This action can release hormones that may stimulate contractions and encourage labor to begin. It is typically done when a woman is near her due date and may be considered if there are no contraindications.
