Stripping Your Membranes

I am scheduled to have my baby in 2 weeks. My due date was 03/17/2010 but he is measuring really big, so they are inducing me on 02/15/2010. I was told they would strip my membranes. Don't you have to be dilated to do that?

I know you have to be dilated to be induce if you are not they start you on something to help you dilated. IM not sure if you need to be dilated to have your membrane sweeped...  How big is the baby measuring?? And are you still being induce on 15th...wow which is monday.
