Got my membranes stripped today, praying I go into labor in the next 48 hours. How many of you ladies did this work for?

Www. Babycentre.com
During an internal examination, she will sweep a finger around your cervix(neck of your womb). This action should separate the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding your baby from your cervix. This separation releases hormones (prostaglandins) which may kick-start your labour.

It is basically a rough exam . Its not a pleasant feeling . There separating the membranes from the bag of water . They swipe there fingers over it
