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.
My doctor doesn’t do this at all. They don’t even check for dilation until your admitted. BUT besides that, unless your dad is a doctor or a nurse, his opinion isn’t really relevant on this :).
