has anyone had their membrane stripped if so did it help u go into labor? And does it hurt I've heard it does and doesn't.. I want to ask my Dr to do one tomorrow at my appointment cause I really don't wanna be induced so I hoping that will make me dilate more I'm already a 3.
I agree uncomfortable but doesn't hurt. I got my membranes swept when I was 38 weeks exactly I was at 3cm and 75% effaced. I did have minor cramps and spotting. I walked bounced on my ball right away. I went into labor 2 days later and had my daughter at 38w4d I don't know if it necessarily made my labor start but it could have been a big help.
@ms.dreaya, were u dilated any when u got urs? I just don't wanna be induced I wanna go natural and she's Playin games lol if I can dilate to a 4 I'm good cause they'll admit me I'm a 3 as far as I know so I don't have much to go i jus need a little push
In my opinion it hurt and was super uncomfortable but I have a very low pain tolerance. I was swept in the morning around 10-11ish at 39W5D and I was barley 2cms. Then My water broke that night/morning 11-12.
