Yes. The membranes are swept to induce labour. Probably your baby has matured enough and/or now its existence outside the uterus is safer than inside the uterus; that is why your membranes are swept to induce the labour.
If you are getting strong pains, it is a good sign. Please rush to the maternity home for safe delivery.
Strong pains may cause nauseating feeling.
Think of your coming baby and you will be happy and symptomless.
