What are the pros and cons?<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>What is Stretch and Sweep?\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stretch and sweep can also be known as membrane sweeping. It is a type of intervention in which a midwife or doctor insert their fingers into your cervix and perform a sweeping motion. The intention behind this process is to stimulate the release of the hormone known as prostaglandins which is a hormone known to help prepare the cervix for labour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>What is involved?<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process typically takes about 10 minutes firstly, your doctor or midwife will perform a cervical examination to determine if your cervix is open, once it is determined that your cervix is open with sterilised gloves the doctor or midwife will insert their finger and \u201cstretch\u201d the cervix and \u201csweep\u201d between the amniotic sac and cervix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>What are the benefits?<\/b><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more of a \u201cnatural\u201d way of inducing labour compared to medication, although stretch and sweep is still considered intervention.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a quick procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be repeated after 48 hours if there is no progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces the percentage of women who deliver their baby past full-term.
