Stripping membranes...  

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
Well tomorrow is my 41 week appt. I will actually be 41 weeks and 2 days as of tomorrow. I will be asking my midwife to strip my membranes. I really wanted to avoid doing anything to bring this baby on but I am physically and emotionally finished. I am hoping and praying that this will help me go into labor. Please send some labor vibes my way. Hopefully by Wed evening we have a baby top side!

I hope it goes well for you and you post your birth announcement really soon! Hopefully you go into labor before then.
All the best to you and your baby!

I'm sending you birthing vibes so that you will go into labor before your appointment and don't end up needing interventions!

*fingers crossed* I hope it works for you!

I'm only going to be a couple of days overdue tomorrow... but I am so tempted to ask for a little help. And the midwife might be more than willing to give it too. She's been worried about my blood pressure anyway.

Good luck! Here's hoping that's all you need to jumpstart labour.

Good luck! How are you feeling after? I had mine stripped today. Ouch! But if it works, then I'd gladly do it all over again.

How'd it go? I had my midwife do that yesterday....I just lost a bunch of mucous after but no active labor yet

I hope it worked for you though....

Hey all. Just got home and not feeling like it did much. I had some extra crampiness on the ride home but now feeling pretty normal. The good news is that I am 5 cm, 80% effaced and baby is at +1 station. The bad news is I have a biophysical profile and NST scheduled for next Tues. I am starting to panic because soon I will be hitting my home birth deadline. WAHHH!!!

It sounds like any minute for you. Sometimes I just can't figure out why some of these babies hold out as long as they do. Hopefully stripping the membranes will be the key to get you going tonite or tomorrow. Its been over 24 hours for me since she did that and nothing yet except alot of pressure by my pubic bone. The midwife told me that they will start induction talk around 41 weeks!!

next Tuesday is a LONG time away, and you are so close! try not to stress about the "deadline" and think about how awesome it is to be so dilated and effaced!! any minute now, any minute now, any minute now...

5 cm!!! Do you know how much I'd want to be in your shoes?!? even if I was a week late already, I'd love to walk around 5 cm. How are you doing this morning? I looked for this thread just to see how you were doing? Sending more labor vibes...:

Thanks. Sometimes I forget that there are good things happening. This morning same old same old. Yeah I was 5cm when I finally went into labor with my first. I am just so miserable at this point (I am having lots of trouble breathing). I just want to have this baby now now now!!
