Just went to my 38 week check up. 1 cm dilated. 50% effective. And baby is at station -3.
My next appointment will be 39 weeks and 5days. She said that I will have my membrane stripped and they will schedule a day for me to be induced.
I was really hoping to have him naturally.
Also I have never heard of having my membrane stripped.. is it as painful as it sounds?
U can do it....my doc wants to induce me I'm 38 weeks and I'm walking bouncing having sex, dancing my butt off taking EVENING PRIMROSE OIL GEL CAPSULES to dilate my cervix naturally so hopeful things will progress naturally...I refuse to be induced because docs ALL THE TIME just throw the word around, I hate that 😑
I would definitely say no if there is no medical indication that you need it! Good luck, stay active, drink plenty of fluids and enjoy your last days being pregnant cuz it'll be over before ya know it! I had a natural birth, med free so you can do it!!!
