Membrane sweep

Hi, fellow mummies! FTM here.. I'm currently 38 weeks and considering membrane sweep.. it was mentioned during my previous gynae checkup. So just wondering if any of you here ever went through with this procedure and is it recommended? Also, I'm having this irrational fear that my baby doesn't want to come out.. 😅 because I've yet to see any dislodge of mucus plug or bloody show or any major signs of labour. Just a lot of pooping time, "menses cramp" feeling and sore back. Is having a "bloody show" a right of passage for Labour or not always? Thank you to any of you for answering my worries.
