I am hoping to have a waterbirth. my ob is very low intervention and all for natural births. I never even considered getting my membranes stripped because I considered it an inervention and just never had the desire to. However, I am now 39 weeks and miserable- covered in PUPPS. Ob wants to strip membranes on Wednesday if I'm dialated. (Which I wasn't last Thursday :( ) She said it a very natural way to get labor going. Is this true? Is it horribly painful? I refuse to get induced (even though I reallyyyyyyy want to) because I'm so set on this natural birth.
