Last week I was 3cm, 50% effaced , and very soft. I refused the membrane strip.
I'm debating about it for today's appointment. I'm not overdue yet. I'm feeling fine. I really enjoy having my little girl inside. But my in laws just flew in for 2 weeks to help us with DD. if I go too far overdue, we won't have their help.
Are there any serious cons to membrane stripping? Opinions on it? I know it isn't clinically proven to help induce labor.

The only reason I agreed to it, was because my OB had said that she wanted to induce me soon because of my high-ish blood pressure.
I wanted to avoid induction so opted for the sweep & baby was born the next morning.
