Is baby girl coming or is she stubborn lol

So I'm 38wks I'm 1.5 cent & 50% effaced with baby #3. My doc stripped my membranes today and is gonna do it again on Thursday. So for anyone who has that done did it help you labor and if so how long after? I was up cleaning the house till 3:30am so I am feeling ready lol.

Im also 38 weeks. 3cm and 70% effaced and still pregnant. Started dilating and effacing at 34 weeks. Contractions get quiet painful and the pressure is very uncomfortable. Hoping my lil guy will make his debut soon. I'm ready.

I guess this is God's way of preparing us for who is in the belly because already they are being hard headed lol.

Apparently we all have stubborn babies! LOL. Except I'm not dilated at all. I'm contracting just not dilating. My c section is next Wednesday, but man I hope she comes out before then! Good luck everyone!

I got mine stripped friday and I was 3 cm and 60% effaced and im still pregnant. I did lose part of my mucus plug though I do believe. Everyone is different and it depends if baby is ready or not.
