VBAC

stripping membranes?

repost from 0-3

Hi guys, not that my baby is out yet but ... was wondering if anyone had their membranes stripped and if this actually puts people into labor? Am trying for a VBAC but they won't induce so it's coming down to the wire, had membranes stripped today. Thanks!!!

  • It didn't work for me, although I did end up going into labor on my own.  Some other things you can try at home - acupressure points (there are some good youtube videos & websites), sex, walking, etc.  I really liked a hypnobabies track 'Come Out Baby' because it got me relaxed and more hopeful about actually going into labor.

  • I had mine stripped on a Tuesday and went into labor on Saturday.  Don't know if they were related or not.

  • I think it worked for me! I had my membranes stripped at 40w1d and went into labor the following night.

    I had my membranes stripped 5 times and it never worked for me.  It will only speed things up if you're nearly there already.  GL to you!

    I had my membranes stripped 3 times - at 38, 39, and 40 weeks. Did not do any good for me. My LO was stuck. They had to use the vacuum extractor even with the c-section, at 41 weeks exactly. I had actually started labor by then.
