Membranes stripping?

Well I'm home resting because my obgyn stripped my membranes at my 39 week appointment this afternoon. I'm 39+2, 3cm dilated and 70% effaced. He said the baby's head is in good position & the cervix has lowered also soooooo I am just waiting.

TIC TOC

 I'm nervous now and excited to meet my little boy! :) I don't know much about the membrane stripping, but I've been reading and I'm glad he did it...hopefully I will have Nicolas within the next day or so.

 Has anyone else had their membranes stripped? How quickly can labor be expected?

Thanks ladies! XO

I had mine stripped yesterday and so far nothing is happening except some very mild, very sporadic contractions. Although I'm only 38 weeks, so hopefully you'll have better luck.

With DD, I had my membranes stripped at 38, 39, and 40w4d - the third time was the charm. I was having time-able contractions within a few hours and delivered 14 hours later. 

GL!

With #1, I had my membranes stripped at 39+2. That was a Friday, my water broke on Monday and DS was born on Tuesday. I didn't feel good all the weekend in between.

Sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes it works right away. I went into labor the same day last time but I was more than a week overdue.

with DD1- i had them stripped twice and went into labor  4days after the second time. with DD2- i had her 2 days later. sometimes i think it's just a coincidence that stripping "works."  sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.... but- it certainly doesn't hurt (that much!) to try.


i have big plans for you, little pumpkin.

I had mine stripped yesterday at 11:30am, 39w 3d and so far mild cramping and spotting for the first few hours after but now, nothing.  I feel great and have more energy than usual, even took the dog for a walk.  Maybe that will help things along.  Good luck!

With my first, I had them stripped at an appointment on a Thursday morning. I had irregular contractions all day, went into labor around midnight, and DS was born right after lunch on Friday. Good luck!

With DD, I had them stripped at 39 weeks.  Didn't do a thing other than make me uncomfortable the rest of the day!  I went into labor 40w3d.

I am only 30 weeks into my second pregnancy but my doc did this at 38 weeks with my first. My water broke on the way home and I had him about 6 hours later! Good luck!

Just had mine done about an hour ago. Had spotting and now im 'ugh' feeling.  41w 3cm 90% +2. I have an induction appt for thursday morning but hopefully he'll come on his own after this.  So far i'm just really good at being pregnant!
