Hi Cali,
I think the membranes your doctor is talking about are the 3 membranes that form the embrionic sack of waters. I would really recommend you get your baby doctor to explain what he or she means about "stimulating" your membranes for getting or starting labor, because minimal tears sometimes occur during pregnancy and that causes bleeding and that causes women to rush to the emergency room thinking that they are losing the baby. This happened recently to my daughter-in-law. She was told that it stopped, everything was OK, and she went home, and her and the baby are fine and her son will be born on 20th Feb. I have heard of doctors rupturing the bag of waters, but I don't think that is really healthy way to induce labor. My training manuals say to wait for the bag of waters to break on its own. If labor must be induced, but only for a GOOD medical reason, the doctor can inject medicines (ones that are well-proven and safe) through your blood stream. NEVER let any doctor do anything to you without a COMPLETE explanation! And if you don't understand the explanation, go to another doctor and ask for another explanation. By the way, I prayed for you to have a full-term pregnancy, a normal delivery without complications, and a healthy baby! God Bless You!!!

Membranes is your sac of waters and they usually take a tool and scrap them. It does sometimes get labor moving and sometimes it rupures the sac. Sometimes it does nothing... its all a 50-50 chance.
