Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Were your membranes stripped?

I had mine stripped yesterday and since then lost pieces of the mucus plug and bleeding which Im told is normal. Iv been 3 cm now for 2 weeks and at a standstill. So Im hoping this does something lol also....has anyone else had this done and how did they feel after because since them I'm nonstop cramping. And annoying back pain when I walk.

Re: Were your membranes stripped?

  • I had it done with DS. I was 80% effaced and 4cm dilated since 36 weeks. My MW finally broke my water at 41+ weeks. 

    With DD I did not have it done and I lost my MP at 34 weeks, had DD at almost 36 weeks.

    GL!

  • My membranes were stripped and I lost my MP and cramped a ton right afterward.  Got induced two days later.

  • Mine were stripped at about 39 weeks.  I had a lot of cramping and some spotting for the next couple of days.  I went into labor about 10 days later.  I do know people who have gone into labor within the next couple of days... so it seems hit or miss!

  • Thanks for all the replys, my pain is getting harsher and more in synch so im hoping today Ill get to go in.
  • A little late here, but -

    I had mine stripped at 38w,2d around 5pm...woke up with STRONG contrax at 1am that night and had my son by 10am. I'd been contracting off and on for a couple weeks before that, but this was the first time they were consistent and intense.

    Sounds to me like you could go today!! Good luck!

  • My membranes were stripped on a Tuesday night around 6:30 p.m. and my water broke the next morning at 8 a.m. I had DS Wed. night at 10:10 p.m. It worked for me!
  • I had membranes stripped at 0930 and was instructed to do nipple stim until contrax began.  (This was for induction- we needed to avoid pitocin due to my uterus)- I began having reg. contrax about 20 minutes after these things were done (3-5 min apart), and 1 hr after stripping my water broke, and I had LO 15 minutes later. I had gone from 4-5 cm to complete in that 1 hour.

    I have fast labors apparently, and I had PTL for weeks prior.
