Actually, no.
Okay.
So I don't know exactly what goes into it.
Basically, if...
your body is ready at the end of pregnancy to give birth and you're wanting to kind of like jumpstart labor, your OB can do some kind of thing where they call it like sweeping your membranes and they kind of sweep around the membranes to kind of jumpstart the labor.
Instead of Pitocin.
Correct.
It's a natural way.
If your body is ready for that,
It's a great natural way to jumpstart things.
If your body's not ready and you're say you're at 39 weeks, but your body, it's not really ready because a lot of women go 41 weeks, 42 weeks, their first pregnancy.
That's normal.
Yeah.
I feel like that should be normalized more.
It can actually...
kind of have a negative effect.
So it started my contractions, but I never dilated.
With that result, I had back labor because he was flipped and I had like 36 hours of labor.
It was like not the most ideal.
I had Pitocin because I needed to dilate.
