@quishana yup definitely right there

@blessedw7, that's what I was thinking like umm some ppl dnt go into labor after that

that is a form of inducing most people vet it stripped so that they can possibly start goint into labor

@quishana I'm having a vbac (my first after a c-section) and I'm not allowed to be Induced he told me but said he will strip me at 38-39wks.. So I don't believe it's considered inducing because no meds are involved just something natural

@caseclosed2015, yes but they said that's a form of inducing

they don't sweep membranes until at least 38 weeks because anytime before that, a baby is not considered term. 38 weeks is term and 40 is full term. even if it's by a few days, having a premature baby can be very bad, you want baby to cook all the way hun!

Every doctor is different in what they like to do. Some doctors don't believe in inducing or trying to do anything to speed up the process (I guess you could say old fashion doctors) sorry they made you mad :/

oh okay... did u ask them to?

@caseclosed2015, my first doctor did it ahead of time like 38 weeks.. they don't do anything

You have to loose your mucus plug on your own.... but they usually don't strip your membranes until u are close to being over due.....
