So I'm just daydreaming here....But I won't read too much into it based on my first experience, but man it would be tough to be cramping and spotting and losing disgusting mucous bits for weeks and not going into labor. But whatevs...I'll try it and see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074099 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:48:21 +0000 blackbird 2074099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB won't do it until week 39. She says if it does work, it will within 48 hours. I was induced at 41 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074094 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:45:28 +0000 coopsmama 2074094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Yeah, it totally sucked. I was even 4cm dilated and no dice. :sad: I was a sad emotional very pregnant lady. </p> <p>I hope it works out better for you if you go that way! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074056 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:22:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2074056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my membranes stripped 3x and still was induced.</p> <p>My doc said it only does anything if you're dilated a bit and your body is actually ready to go into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074045 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:13:50 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2074045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Midwives wouldn't do it before 40w. I got one at 40+2 and one at 40+5, went into labour about 6 hours after the second one. I doubt anything would have happened at 36/37/38/39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074035 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:07:06 +0000 Pepper 2074035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started around 36/37 weeks, and went into labor at 39 weeks. The sweep at 39 weeks sent me into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074028 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:03:03 +0000 PrincessBaby 2074028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Shit:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074027 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:02:04 +0000 coopsmama 2074027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it done 3x with my second baby and still had to be induced at 42 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074026 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:00:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2074026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc wouldn't do it before 40 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2074008 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:47:52 +0000 Mamasig 2074008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew someone who had it done twice and was still a week late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-start-getting-membranes-stripped-at-3637-weeks#post-2073995 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:38:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 2073995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it help?</p> <p>I only had one membrane strip with my first pregnancy and still had to be induced a few days later, but I did lose my MP.</p> <p>Just wondering if having it done a couple/multiple times earlier in the pregnancy helped you go into labor sooner? </p>
