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!
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!
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.
