I've heard that it works for some women, and doesn't work for others. I'm at 39 weeks today, and my doctor is willing to strip my membranes, but he says it "doesn't work". I'm ready to have this baby, but don't want to do something unneccesary or painful for no reason. But if it gets things going, I think it would be worth it. I'm 5 cm. dilated and 70% effaced, but the contractions that I was having have slowed waaaay down (they were 3-4 minutes apart, but only progessing me very slowly). My doctor will not induce me until I am at 41 weeks. What do you think about me getting my membranes stripped?
