My dad thinks it's stupid that I'm getting my membranes stripped to kick start labor at 39 weeks and 2 days this Tuesday... I don't think it is stupid at all...
@boymomx3, my doctor doesn’t unless I’m having contractions or want my membranes stripped at 39/40 weeks. Knowing that you’re dilated means nothing until you’re in active labor.
I don’t think it’s stupid. It’s the only thing that worked for me. I was 41 weeks when I finally had my son.
Ive never heard of a Dr not checking for dilation. Mine starts around 37 weeks. Good luck. I don't see why it should matter.
@matt.katie1217 same here i always start dilating around 33 weeks that could br why i got checked everytime i went. But all drs are different.
