Membrane strip at 38 weeks. Anyone gone thru similar?
Next week I'll be 38 weeks and my midwife has offered me a membrane strip. I have some mild complications (edema and protein in urine, premature labour) so I'm guessing she just wants to speed things up a bit to be on the safe side. I realize that a membrane sweep is no guarantee that labour will follow but what have your experiences been? Does this work?
FYI: The suggested category for this question was home and gardening. Subcategory Do-It-Yourself. HAHAHA!

I had one done yesterday actually and to tell you the truth i've been suffering since. Lot's of cramps and such but no real start to the labor. I'm hoping something will happen really soon cause i'm 39 weeks and i was having labor already.

I had my membranes stripped twice when I was pregnant with my daughter. It didn't work either time. It's only going to work if your body is ready to go into labor on it's own and if you experienced premature labor then it will probably work for you.
