They seperate the bag of water from your cervix.not a scrap.i felt like she was in there for 2minutes digging to china! Lol it was uncomfortable but didn't hurt.
I will be getting this done tomorrow. I will be 37 weeks. As of last Thurs. I am already dialated 4cm. This is my 4th baby and I have had all of them 2-3wks early. This is the first time I will be getting my membranes stripped so I am kinda nervous.
@mistydawn is your Dr agreeable to it or did you have to push for it to get done?? I'm going to ask at my next appt if I can get it done at 37 weeks. I wonder if u have to be dilated to get it done??
Don't be nervous @mistydawn sounds worse than it is. More like a doctor checking for dialation but shes just moving her hands side to side it felt. Looks like your a good candidate for it. Good luck!
@kenzie0713 it was all my doctors idea. I've never had it done before. It want too bad. Felt like a normal exam. @jamie77 I don't think it worked for me. I ended up in l & d last night with lots of pressure. They had me on monitor four an hr. Just had small contractions and dilated to 5. Made me walk the halls for an hr. Had couple of big contractions. So they monitored me for another hr. Had no change in dilation and only had 5 contractions in that hr. so they sent me home. Just playing the waiting game now. I will not go back to l & d until I'm sure it's time cause that was a big waste of time X(
