My doctor said that she would strip my membranes today if I would like and Im kinda nervous because with my first it hurt really bad and didn't do anything for me i ended up having to be induced. but with this one im already 3 centimeters dialated and 50% efaced. so would it work? and will it make things get started?

It's a definite possibility of the strip working. Were you dilated and effaced when you had it done the first time? If not then I'd say get ready to have a baby. But either way, your so close to the due date that even if you are admitted and induced, just think of how much relief will come from meeting your little one. Good luck, and I think you should give it a try and see what happens. Congratulations

My doc did the same with me during my last pregnancy, and I had the same results as you. (I was 50% effaced and 3 cm dialated too.) It was painful, and it didn't do anything! I am 32 weeks pregnant this time around, and if my doc considers doing the same thing, I am going to speak up and ask that she let my baby do her thing naturally. You, as a patient, have the right to speak up! You are 39 weeks, you have come so far! With only a matter of days left, I would just hang in there and let nature take it's course. Good luck and congratulations!

i had my membranes stripped with my last pregnancy and all it did was throw me into false labor. i was 2 centimeters and so she wanted to do it to see if it would work. i was having contractions every 2 minutes for about 45 minutes then NOTHING! it just stopped. they had me go to hospital anyway. i was induced a week later! i would never do it again.

The three common steps are:
1.- Pitocin
2.- Epidural
3.- A small cut
They will prevent pain, induce and help the baby to come easily.
Good luck and congratulations!!

it might, it might not. If you dont want it done, dont do it :) Eventually you are going to go into labor and have your baby :) So does it really matter if it puts you into labor today? Soon enough you will have a healthy happy baby in your arms. Its just a personal choice. If it hurts that bad you need to decide if its worth it :) Goodluck!!!!!

If it were me, I wouldn't let my doc do it. You will probably go into labor on your own, why interfere? If things are going along smoothly, leave it alone. Good luck.
