Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Due to membrane sweep prostaglandins are released causing painful uterine contractions & later on when concentration of prostaglandins will increase, your chances of getting labour pains & normal delivery will increase.

So don't worry, after getting a little bit discomfort you will get a pride of motherhood.

All the Best.
