is it out of line to ask the Doc to strip

my membranes (you dirty ho's!) when I go in on Tuesday to make sure I am good and ready for the induction on wednesday? I mean is that telling him how to do his job? I am getting scared at all these "it took days" stories I keep hearing. With DS & DD I went in they started a drip, broke my water and within hours NOT DAYS I had an outside baby. BUT I had my membranes stripped days before also... Im torn...

    I read the title thinking - Oh!  She must have a hot Dr.!!  Lucky girl!

     And, No it's not out of line.   But, stripping the membranes may not do anything anyway.

    Do you want to hear a good induction story?

    I would casually ask about it to feel out your MWs thoughts.  If they seem receptive then be a bit more pushy  If they are all "nope not so much" I wouldn't push it.

    I don't think your induction will take days...especially since it is your third.

    I must be a dirty ho because my mind went right to asking my doc to strip!! He's a good looking dude!

    If I were you I would ask. I don't see the harm in asking at all.

    If you're dialated enough, I don't think it would hurt to ask. I mean, you could always phrase it like a question, "Would it help for my induction to have my membranes stripped today?"

    on Monday I was back at 1cm. My MW said if I dont make some progress I could be in for a long L&D. That my friend scared the hell outta me! DD they started me @ 7:30 I had her a little after 2 and with DS they started me about 7 and he was born just after 1. But I cant for the life of me remember how far dilated i was when i went in.

    they didn't strip mine until after i started my induction- and i still had her that same day.

    i think you'd be A-Ok w/o it- however, i also don't think you'd be out of line to ask.

    I think you SHOULD ask him to strip. See what happens! :-)

    Ask! I asked my doctor yesterday if she'll strip membranes before going to induction. She said she is happy to do it the day before a scheduled induction, but it's only 50/50.
