I had absolutely nothing yesterday, I went on a long walk this morning and had a few cramps. I believe I did lose part of my mucus plug this morning though! I know it doesn't mean anything but still, it's something. I have an appointment for tomorrow and Friday to get stretched/stripped again.

It didn't hurt anything, but near 48 hours with no onset of labor. aMohror on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-231758 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 00:18:14 +0000 aMohror 231758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: Thank you!

I at least need another day so I can sit down and write out a blog post about the nursery.

I'm crossing my fingers it works! I'll update you and let you know how it goes. Thank you SO much for all of your feedback!

The first time it made me bleed like crazy for a short while, but didn't work. The second time I'd already been having contractions all morning. Once it was done, they picked up and I was admitted to the hospital probably 3 hours later. lavender on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-225800 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:21:49 +0000 lavender 225800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Didn't work for me and I had it done twice. aMohror on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-225787 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:12:35 +0000 aMohror 225787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It definitely sounds like 50/50 to me! I did some research online as well and it sounds like if you are ready then you will go into labor but if not, then you won't! Guess I'll just have to take my chances with it! I'm just not sure it will be worth the pain if it doesn't work...lol Mrs. Sunglasses on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-225570 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:18:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 225570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't work for my first pregnancy, and the first time the doc did it for my second pregnancy it didn't work either. The second time he did it... he went at it full force and I went into labour less than 24 hours later. it's really a 50/50 kiddosc on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-225534 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:59:56 +0000 kiddosc 225534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had my membranes stripped in the morning around 10:30 and was crampy all day and in labor by 8pm. DH and I had been walking like crazy for the days leading up to that, I'd been drinking raspberry leaf tea, and I was a day past my due date. So who knows how much of an effect it had.

During her mid-morning appointment, the doctor stripped her membranes. She was in full-blown labor by evening. She doesn't know whether she would have gone into labor that night naturally or not, but the membrane stripping may have accelerated things. Also, the night before the OB appointment, my sister tried a bunch of old-wives tales, like having sex, eating a bunch of pineapple core, drinking raspberry leaf tea, etc. Something may have worked - or it was just coincidence! Good luck!

Had some minor cramping, but it didn't work and I had to get induced. aMohror on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-225332 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:50:04 +0000 aMohror 225332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dang, it seems like it's not such a great turn out after all! I guess I have this week to think about it I want to do it or not. I'd rather go into labor naturally if I could, if I don't I will probably be induced the week after due to my insurance changing right before my due date!

So now I'm not too sure... Some of the literature I read while considering the procedure encouraged me that is successful for the majority of people who have it done. I think the success rate was like 60%. mrstilly on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-224807 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:31:06 +0000 mrstilly 224807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I also had it done twice and nothing happened. That was at 39w5d and 40w5d. DS was just really stubborn and I was induced 10 days past my due date. heffalump on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-224696 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:02:58 +0000 heffalump 224696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Had it done twice... and didn't work. Maybe it will for you though. Good luck! aMohror on "If you had your membranes scraped, did it work for you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-your-membranes-scraped-did-it-work-for-you#post-224609 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 23:23:13 +0000 aMohror 224609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At my next appointment my doctor mentioned she could scrape my membranes if I wanted. Did you go into labor shortly after doing this or did you just get nothing?!
