S/O Stripping membranes

Do you think she will strip mine since I am only 38 w 2 d or is it usually more of a last resort sort of thing before inducing?

    It's too soon.  Not unless the baby is in distress or your closer to delivery.

    Mine doesn't even discuss it until you've reached your due date but maybe she's conservative.  Hang in there...you're almost there!

    My OB stripped mine at 37 weeks- I was already 3 cm dialated, and again at 38 weeks (with Luke).

     

    Just ask her to :o)

    mine was stripped at 38wk 2 d for ds, but I was in the middle of an induction for pree... and it hurt like a BEAOTCH!   did nothing that I could tell... of course by that point and on pit so who could tell?   only thing that works for me is breaking that bag.. then the baby practically flies out... seriously... with #2,  8 hrs of pitocin brought me from a loose 2-3 to  4cm... broke that bag and an hour later I was pushing .  ( had a lot of amniotic fluid with both.. niagara falls.)  ... with dd #1.... day 2 of induction at 5pm (yeah, 34hrs after the start, early induction for pree) I finally hit 1cm.... after they broke my water I went from 1 to 9cm in 3 hrs.   

    just ask about it ... maybe it helps kick things into gear???  good luck.

    If you are dialated at all she might...but it won't work unless you are ready to go into labor.  And it does hurt...so take a deep breath!

    My OB stripped mine at 38 weeks last pregnancy, but it didn't do anything. ?It was quick and didn't really hurt that badly.

    My midwife stripped mine at 38 weeks with DS.  I was already 3 cm dilated but he still wasn't born for a week after that.  Hope it works better for you!

    I was stripped at 39 wks. ?I had GD and she didn't really want me to go over, so maybe that's why she did it before I was due? ?IDK ?hope she'll do it for you :)

    Mine offered to do it at 37 weeks.  I didn't take her up on it then.  She said she's going to do it today though.
