She said that I was 3cm and very thinned out. The week before I was 60% thinned. After the exam I had really bad cramps all night and then I have had diarea( gross I know) and I feel very nauseated but no more cramps. I am so ready to have this baby. Anyone else had their membranes stripped and went into labor with in a couple days?

I had my membranes stripped 2 times last week and I am still sitting here with a big belly. I am due on Christmas Eve and my conception date is very accurate so I think im going to be in the hospital during the holidays. I am getting them stripped again on thursday. I had really bad cramping after words and my mucus plug came out and the exam was very intense and painful. Good luck if you go into labor! BY the way I am 2 cm and 60% effaced and I am taking 5-w

I went into labor within 15 hours of having my membranes stripped. (which was the most horrible, painful experience of my pregnancy!) I had all the same symptoms that you are describing, it was awful. But about 15 hours later my water broke. Hope yours does the same!

If it doesn't happen w/in 24 hours, then stripping the membranes didn't do anything. Having sex can help things along.
My doc stripped my membranes with my first (without my consent!) and I still didn't have him for a week. If your body and your baby aren't ready, nothing will work. Trust your body.....no one has ever been pregnant forever. :-)

I had my membranes stripped at 3cm/80%effaced and still had to be induced.
BUT...with the cramping and diarhea your experiencing, sounds like labor is coming soon. Good luck!!

I had them stripped one week. Went back the next had em stripped again, then was sent to be induced. So yup. Its uncomfortable I know, but thats the doctors way of helping you along. I to was sick of being preggo at the end. Course I hear it makes a difference to be pregnant during the winter than during summer.
But yes you are on your way to having baby! Confabulations!

i drank a cup raspberry leaf tea about every 2 hours and went into labor. i started drinking on sunday morning( my due date was that wed.) started having contractions about 8 in the morn on mon. i stopped drinking the tea( as i got nervous about labor)and the contractions eventually went away and nothing on tues. so tues, night i started drinking some more and, at 3 in the morning i started with contractions and went into full labor, my daughter was born wed night at 8 p.m. i since passed the tea along to 2 other woman and it worked for them also. good luck hope this helped.

I had mine stripped once, and it didnt do anything- although I was 12 days overdue by that point. I wound up having to be induced. My Dr did say that it can take up to 48 hours to really get things moving though!
Hope it works for you!

I heard that after you have that done that it sometimes only take 12 hours- a few days. Best of luck to you and your little baby.
