Has anybody here ever had there membranes stripped?
Can you only have your membranes stripped once you've started dilating ? Or can your doctor force the cervix open ? Did you actually go into labor after your membranes were stripped ? At what week were you in pregnancy when your membranes were stripped?

Membrane stripping only works to augment labor, it doesn't trigger it. No, a doctor can't force a cervix to open.
Unfortunately there are doctors who will strip membranes even when their patient isn't in labor, but the minimum I've ever heard of it being done is 38 weeks.
