Wonder how today will be. </p> <p>Fingers crossed for you, but stripping of membranes is so "unpredictable" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152531 Tue, 08 May 2012 23:51:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 152531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: hoping for progress for you!! yayyy!!</p> <p>haven't felt a thing since i had mine stripped this morning....not even a cramp! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152511 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:11:20 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 152511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: EEEEE! Exciting. My fingers are crossed for progress for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152510 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:10:17 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 152510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: My friend had acupuncture with her last two kids and she went into labour with her third the night of her appt. She had it in the morning!<br /> Definitely try it!</p> <p>I would try it but I am having a scheduled C-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152480 Tue, 08 May 2012 21:06:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I might have lost part of my mucus plug after dinner.<br /> I went to the washroom and heard a "plunk" in the water... but before I could check it out, Mavi flushed the toilette. BOO!</p> <p>I definitely feel things are "working" had a few small contractions. Hoping tomorrow things will activate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152304 Tue, 08 May 2012 17:44:45 +0000 erinpye 152304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of. I had them stripped twice with nothing. The third time, it put me into labor, but I was checking in that day to be induced anyway (6 days overdue and low fluid). My labor resulting from the strip ended up stalling about 4 hours later and they gave me pitocin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152189 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:22:33 +0000 Honeybee 152189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it immediately worked for me, but I think it contributed to me going into labor when I did. </p> <p>Unfortunately for me, I had steady contractions almost every night or 3 weeks before #2 was born. :( I hope your second comes a little faster than mine did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152187 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:21:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Ya I can understand the discomfort... but I would feel like okay... time to go and give birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152169 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:09:24 +0000 Boogs 152169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I hope it does work for you! I HATED having my water break, it felt disgusting, but the worst part was that it kept going and going so it made me so uncomfortable that I didn't even want to move the whole time I was in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152151 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:54:10 +0000 regberadaisy 152151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: oh no!! I'm so sorry!! That was the most uncomfortable experience :(<br /> Hope baby comes soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152143 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: i've been having cramping for 1 week and a half. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152140 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:49:28 +0000 regberadaisy 152140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cramping started the day before my membranes were stripped. And I delivered 3 days later. So.... Yes and no?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152092 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:26:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: I've never experienced my water breaking and honestly... I would love for it to happen (minus the mess) Not sure it will though... so my fingers are crossed on contractions.</p> <p>I'm even thinking of getting acupuncture... to target the natural induction "points" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152089 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:25:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: I know! I'm hoping the 50% is positive this time around. That would be a good average. No the first and yes the second.</p> <p>I hope you don't have to get induced and go into birth naturally... fingers crossed for both of us! Early mothers day gift I say?! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152083 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:21:30 +0000 heffalump 152083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did it twice and didn't work either time. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152082 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:21:24 +0000 Sweet T 152082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my membranes stripped twice. The first time, it definitely did not work. The second time, I had it done on my due date and my water broke at 40w2d. I don't know that it was because I had my membranes stripped but I guess it could have been. I usually say that it didn't work. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152075 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:18:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 152075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my membranes stripped today too and dr. Said its only a 50/50 chance anything will happen. We will see!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-stripping-your-membranes-work-for-you#post-152073 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:17:42 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 152073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know when I was pregnant with Mavrick, the doc stripped my membranes but it didn't work and I was induced 1 week after my due date.</p> <p>I just came back from my doc appt and he stripped my membranes this time around. He said if it worked, I would be in labour 24/48 hours. I'm really hoping it will work this time but I know it's really 50/50.</p> <p>I was wondering what was your experience? Did it work, or not work. </p>
