Hope75 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 My husband I had a feeling it was 'the time' when we got pregnant with my daughter. The second time we got pregnant we had no idea what night it was. I think it's possible to have a good idea of what night it is if you know your body and when you ovulate and when you had sex.

Ac143 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have my 39 week appt today, actually I only have 5 days until my due date & I'm going to ask him to strip my membranes. Have any of you ladies had that done? I wonder if it will help induce labor?? I'm hoping it really does, I'm so over this! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortpants Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh my! Sooooo close Ac143! How exciting! Personally, I opted out of the membrane stripping. I had heard from more than one person that it can be very painful and may not always induce labor. My Midwives gave me the option of stripping or EPO (evening primrose oil) to try and induce labor. I took the EPO orally and inserted one caplet vaginally to soften and prime my cervix. No difference whatsoever. I still got induced with cervadil at 41 weeks and ended up having a c-sec after 12 hours of hard labor. I've just heard such mixed things about the stripping, I decided it was not for me. Good luck mama!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrogirl Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 My daughter has an appt today as well. According to the adjusted due date, she is due in 3 days! Nathan stayed put and now I think he is sooo cozy in there he doesn't want to come out. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck mama!! I have been doing the EPO for 2 weeks now & it hasn't changed my cervix one bit lol. So I am really hoping the stripping helps! I really dont want to get induced or have a c-section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortpants Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 LOL Yeah, nothing happening with the EPO! When they induced me I was still only dialated like a fingertip. So much for that. They only induced me at 41 weeks because my blood pressure was through the roof, I had Bell's Palsy and severe swelling. And if it wasn't for a stinkin' lip on my cervix that Littlepants got stuck on, I would have not had the c-sec. I don't see any harm with the stripping, other than the discomfort. I go to another birth/baby forum and have read there of many mommies that did have good results from the stripping. No matter what, do what feels right for you.

I really dont want to get induced or have a c-section Don't forget lots of sex! Prostaglandins in semen may help get things going (yeah I know how awkward sex is when you are 9 months pregnant.... just sayin'). And rolling on a large yoga ball/birth ball may help also.

Ac143 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hey girls, I just got back from the dr not too long ago, I am 2cm dilated & 50% effaced & she has dropped even more...he also stripped my membranes - which didn't hurt as bad as I thought they would! Thank goodness. Since my due date isn't for another 5 days - he will induce next Wednesday if she doesn't come on her own - so a week from now I will definitely have my baby no matter what. YAY! MG - Good luck!!! Maybe me & your daughter will have babies on the same day! Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
