“A pendant” is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain worn around the neck. “Pendent” means “hanging” or “suspended.”

Pendant is used with past and future actions, to describe how long something lasted for or will last for. For example: J’ai habité en France pendant trois mois. – I lived in France for three months.

Pendant (During) The French temporal expression pendant translates to the English word “during,” but it can also be used in the sense of the English word “for.” In this way, it’s also a synonym with the French word durant (during). There’s generally one rule for using pendant.

Four years later, the Supreme Court overturned its previous ruling, and in 1976, capital punishment was again legalized in the United States. As of 2021, three states have laws that specify hanging as an available secondary method of execution.

Having bad luck. About to fall apart psychologically.

Yeah Rosco, nothing wrong with a feed of Sweep – the smaller ones are predictably boney, but you’ll get a couple of nice fillets off the larger of the variety – yep, treat them as normal – bleed out and keep in ice slurry to set the flesh to make filleting and skinning easier.

To carry out a membrane sweep, your midwife or doctor sweeps their finger around your cervix during an internal examination. This action should separate the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding your baby from your cervix. This separation releases hormones (prostaglandins), which may start your labour.

You would expect positive signs of labour within 12 to 48 hours of having a membrane sweep, however. If it takes longer than this, it means the membrane sweep hasn’t worked and your body is not yet in labour.

Physical demands (lifting, standing, bending) Heavy lifting, standing for long periods of time, or bending a lot during pregnancy could increase your chances of miscarriage, preterm birth, or injury during pregnancy.

When we do a membrane sweep, we are trying to strip the membranes away from the cervix. This is something that you need training to do, to make sure that you don’t actually hurt the cervix. So we wouldn’t recommend that you do a DIY membrane sweep at home.

Walking around the room, doing simple movements in bed or chair, or even changing positions may encourage dilation. This is because the weight of the baby applies pressure to the cervix. People may also find swaying or dancing to calming music effective.

Getting a membrane sweep feels kind of like a rough cervical check. During my first sweep, with my second baby, my whole body involuntarily recoiled. It’s a lot of pressure in a highly sensitive place. But although it was super uncomfortable for 10 seconds or so, I wouldn’t say it was particularly painful.

There’s also a risk that a stretch and sweep could break the amniotic sac. This is sometimes known as your water breaking. Some women can have irregular contractions, and they may not necessarily lead to labor.

The whole procedure, which can be done at the doctor’s office, in a midwife’s clinic or at home, is over in about a minute, and you’ll be fine to drive home afterwards if needed. Later that day, you may have period-like cramps along with some light spotting, which is all normal.

What are the success rates? A membrane sweep reduces the chance of a pregnancy progressing beyond 41 weeks by about half. If it doesn’t do the trick you can book another sweep, or think about booking a date for induction.

The JCGO study reported that after a membrane sweep, 90 percent of women delivered by 41 weeks compared to women who didn’t receive the membrane sweep. Of these, only 75 percent delivered by 41 weeks’ gestation.

Your midwife or doctor may offer to perform a stretch and sweep when you have reached full term (38 weeks) to try to start labour. Some hospitals and doctors recommend the procedure only if you are 40 to 41 weeks pregnant in an attempt to prevent an overdue delivery, which may place the baby at risk.

If you do have membrane sweeping, expect to feel some cramping during the procedure. You might feel mild cramps or contractions for up to 24 hours afterward. You may also have slight spotting (a small amount of bleeding on your underwear) for up to 3 days.

A study involving 190 women found a sweep at 38 weeks reduced total gestation time. Of the membrane stripping group, only 10% went past 41 weeks, compared with 25% in the non-sweep group. This study showed sweeping every 48 hours, from 41 weeks, decreased the risk of post-term pregnancy.
