has anyones Dr stripped their membranes at 38 weeks? did you have to ask? or did they just offer? last week he said she's so low he doesn't know how my water hasn't broken and I swear she's even lower now. I feel like I'm walking with a bowling ball between my thighs. I hurt, I'm crabby, and my son and fiancee are sick of me crying. she needs to come. lol
