Stripping Membranes?
Just a quick question. I have been wondering for a while, just how does the dr.
"strip" your membranes? Thanks, Jeri Marissa 1-17-00 Jordan 8-25-01 Baby Jacob Jr. 10-26-04

Possibly just a somewhat bluntish flatish utensil. It wasn't super comfy but it wasn't as painful as... well, okay, it was only slightly more uncomfortable than any other internal exam at that point.

AFAIK they do an internal exam and scratch the amniotic sac with a
fingernail. IIRC that's how my OB explained to me. In that case it must only be possible if you are dilated a little bit... "Jerihenderson4" wrote in message ... Just a quick question.

This irritates the membranes. Some do it more aggressively than others. There is a small risk that it will rupture your membranes. It's unclear how useful it is in getting labor going.
