Wondering how much longer (TMI?)

So I had my OB appt yesterday. Doc stripped my membranes BIG time and stated that I was a tight 2cm & thinning out (I was a finger tip 2wks ago, so my body's doing something). 12hrs later I started getting menstrual type cramps and lots of cervical pain (which I assume is lightening crotch??). By 2:30am I noticed stringy mucus on the TP after using the bathroom twice...once it was tinged brown. I just went to the bathroom and there was another HUGE piece of mucus on the TP. I woke up this morning with a headache & nausea and when I'm vertical/mobile, I notice I get crampy and have slight pressure in my pelvis. I hope my body is responding to the membrane stripping. Just wish I knew when it would happen.

    I haven't been stripped yet, but I did lose my mucus plug last Monday and since then have been having the same type of discharge you are having plus the cramping and sharp pains down there (very uncomfortable). I think it's just the body getting ready but I will mention it this Friday at my appointment (38 wks)

     

    Hopefully it will get better :)

    I don't know about your other symptoms but that really sucks that your doctor did that so early... sorry, but unless you have a medical issue, i hope your LO stays a little longer.

    I do know that it won't work unless your body is ready for it too.

    Most of my friends who have had theirs stripped went into real labor about 2-4 days after the procedure. You may not want to, but having sex will soften your cervix more and make it prone to dilate, and bounce on a yoga ball. That can definitely help you out. (Yoga ball bouncing will make anyone feel better, to be honest.)

    We did it because I'm having a lot of issues & I'll be 37wks tomorrow.
