Cervical membrane sweeping could be an informed choice / consent in childbirth and might not work

"Doc should absolutely get your informed consent before performing any medical procedure, especially something like a membrane sweep that could induce labor, especially if it isn't medically necessary. Seems appropriate to file a complaint with the hospital and explicitly tell your OB she needs to get your consent before performing any other interventions, barring an emergency situation in which you are unable to give consent."
