So yeah, I'm still pregnant! Should I even bother mentioning at my appt on Mon the midwife said I was now 75% effaced and she believes I'll go into labor this week? It's Wed and I'm not really feeling anything happening yet -this kid must be really comfortable and not want to come out!
She mentioned stripping my membranes, I thought about it, but chickened out. Maybe next week if I'm still pregnant. Praying I'm not though!

oh i had that stripping of the membrane done on the 16th my due date. i did go into the hospital on the 16th to have him. of course my son waited until the 17th at 1:26am to be born.I won't lie to you it hurts. I was told it wouldn't but it did! It did help since i went into have him.
love,
mimi
What exactly IS stripping of the membranes? I've never even heard of it... I hope you have the baby this week, but I guess it's best to let him/her take his/her time and come when ready.
love you!
Michelle, as far along as you are I know Castor Oil would work. My midwife swore by it if you're at least 50% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated. Take about a tablespoon in a little soda, shake it together, and swallow. Give it about 12 hours and stay near a bathroom. Have your bag packed and Joe on the ready.
I always opted out of the stripping - our believe was the baby would come when he/she was ready - and our's both did!
Glad to get an update though - I was wondering...
Hang in there -

I have a feeling it's going to be this week, Michelle. 75% effaced - yep, I think it's going to be any minute now. :-)
I love watching the In the Motherhood series.
I had my membranes stripped with Logan - it sounds a lot worse than it is. Not anymore uncomfortable than a regular OB yearly check-up.
I hope the baby comes soon :)
Oooh, it hurts like hell! Don't do it. I did with both and it didn't work either time, as you know. ;-)
I'll have to check out those webisodes.
I had my membranes stripped with both girls. Hurt a LOT, but it worked with both of them. I went into labor the same day with Kayla and the next day with Alysa. With Kayla I had bene 80% effaced since 36 weeks and with Alysa I was barely effacing. Could have been coincidence too - you never know for sure...
LOL the only thing worse than being 39wks pregnant is being 41wks pregnant.
Fingers crossed its soon!!
I had my membranes stripped 3 times with Kennedy... didn't work. LOL Praying you go into labor SOON!
With me, stripping the membranes did not hurt a bit, I did not even know my OB had done it, until she already had. Of course, it didn't help either. Good luck!
The whole 'stipping membranes' doesn't sound good. I have never heard of it. I did hear the castor oil thing works. How long will they let you go? Maybe s/he's going to make a grand entrance on the most special day this year (the 29th). But that is 8 more days! Thinking of you. Theresa
I had this done with kid number two. It was NOT pain free, in fact it hurt quite a bit. I do not blame you for chickening out. They told me it would make me "uncomfortable".....they lied :)
Prayng for you, your family and baby!
With Love and Hope,
Jen-William's Mom
