Stripping membranes....did it work for you?
I know it will only work if the baby is ready but I'm curious how many people it actually worked for or didn't work for.
I had mine stripped with my son 3 days before my due date, at that point I was 3cm dialated and 80% effaced for 4 weeks so it was a last attempt to get him out and it did not work, I ended up needing induced.
I'm due in 8 days, by this point my second child came out on her own. My dr wants to strip mine today and I'm getting desperate enough to let him try it.
So hmor me, did it or didn't it work for you?

It didn't work for me with my son. They stripped mine, then I had to be induced a week later. They stripped them on the first due date (Jan 30) they had based on an ultrasound. They induced me a week later (Feb 7) which was the due date they gave me based on LMP.
Good luck and congrats

It worked for me. Made my water break. But I didn't have my son for another 32 hours. And it ended up being an emergency c-section. I personally wouldn't do it again. Good Luck!
