I am 37 weeks and my DR going to strip my membranes 2morrow and was just wondering how long did take before labor started for those who have had it done?

Pretty fast. Best kept secret of labor, you must relax and go with the flow. It took me a couple kids to learn this, but the more you just go with the pain, the less you will have. I had 5 and none was smaller than 8 lbs.

Gestational diabetes is a well sufficient purpose for induction of work. Full time period technically is forty weeks;however at 36.five,it is ok to supply. The obstretician did not attempt to strip your membranes. He used to be looking to holiday the bag of water or the amniotic sac. Once that is damaged, and you're no longer completely dilated;possibilities are you might have an illness. If you are no longer completely dilated approximately 7or eight cm, he would result in exertions through pitocin drip. Breaking the bag of water isn't a painful approach. If you're delicate and scaling down;that implies your're effaced. that is a signal of early exertions. It does not take lengthy to enter exertions as soon as the bag of water is damaged. Hoping this may increasingly do the trick. Otherwise, induction is indicated and also you get to opt for the date to supply and investigate the birthday of the child.

Stripping the membranes doesn't even cause some women to go into labor. It's just something to try.

i had it done at 38 weeks and again at 39 and 40. Nothing happened, i bled for a couple days and had some cramps but they went away after a couple days. I'm now 40 weeks, and 4 days, and i'm being induced tomorrow morning!

Good Luck you're gonna need it!! :)

It never did work for me. I tried it with the second and third pregnancies, and I had spotting and cramps, but still no baby. I had to be induced all three times. Hope it works for you, though!

I had my membranes stripped at 42 weeks. AFTER labor started. In fact my contractions were 15 seconds apart at that point. Unless there is a compelling medical reason for you to deliver early your doctor is a fraud who is too damn anxious to go on vacation. Get a second opinion.
