**Comment from Dr Jane Richmond, Clinical Director, GG&C, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital

 ‘The NICE guideline Inducing Labour (2021) recommends discussion and offer of a membrane sweep at antenatal visits after 39+0 weeks.  This should include discussion that membrane sweeping might make it more likely that labour will start without the need for additional pharmacological or mechanical methods of induction.

All low risk women can be offered a membrane sweep in community clinics from 39+0 weeks, following a risk assessment, with the offer of a further sweep if labour does not start spontaneously following the first sweep.’
