why is everyone getting their membranes stripped?

Re: why is everyone getting their membranes stripped?

  • I had it done because my doc is hoping I will go in to labor on my own before my induction on Tuesday. (Being induced for high BP). Otherwise I probably wouldn't have done it.

  • Yeah, it hurts so your not missing out. Mine was thinking it would just start labor. Well I've had it done twice now and I still haven't popped this LO out.

  • My doctor wont even do internals...they have a completey "hand off approach" ....pun intended!

    Um, why so early? That doesn't seem right, especially since you didn't even know.

  • I haven't...and didn't with Drew even though I went a week past my due date.

    In fact, my doc never even mentioned it (which is fine by me b/c I wouldn't have wanted it anyway).  If not for the bump, I'd never have heard of membrane stripping.

  • It hasn't even come up in discussion w/my doctor.  It's not something I want to have done.  It sounds painful.

    Exactly all of this.  I was 4 days past due last time and no one even mentioned it.  I really never heard of it outside of the Bump.

  • For those of us who do chose to have it done, it's probably more out of desperation than anything. I would rather have the slight discomfort of membrane stripping than the much more uncomfortable and invasive induction. Not that membrane stripping is a guarantee of impending labor, but it does help sometimes. And that's my 2 cents. Smile

  • I was offered this past week and declined.  I think I might on Monday though, if my regular doctor offers-I'll be 40 weeks then, and I am hoping not to have an induction.

  • Having it done Monday if I'm dilated at all. Otherwise, I will be induced the following Monday which would put a serious wrench in my plan to have a med-free delivery. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't do it. Lesser of 2 evils. My practice won't let me go past 41 weeks.
  • Not sure if this was the same thing or not, but my doc did "something" he said breaking it down, because I had some scar tissue and he thought that might have been keeping me from dialating any farther. (at 39wks and again yesterday I was 1cm 90%effaced). Not something I would recommend, I almost climbed off the back of the table. We also sched. an induction for Wed. if baby doesn't come before.
