I went to my 40 week appointment, my Doctor stripped my membrane.. (on the day of my due date) I was on my way home and had started having contractions.. i waited for 2 hours.. i was having contractions every 7-8 mins.. i called the hospital.. they told me to come in.. (come to find out when i used the restroom at home my water ruptured) i was in labor for 6 hours and 23mins.. i started pushing at 8:50, baby was here at 8:53pm
Membrane stripped and contractions
Hi!! Excited because I had a sweep and stretch today and 12:30. I am 38+1 weeks. For the last 2 hours I’ve been having contractions every 15 minutes for 30 seconds at a time. I’m nervous to go to sleep because 2 labors in the past have progressed so quickly. So I’m curious how many people have had similar symptoms and had things stall out. I just don’t want to go to bed and wake up too late like I (almost) did the last time. The weather is horrible here so I’ll need to leave even earlier for the hospital than normal.

I’ve had two sweeps. Been contracting on and off past week or two. I’m 5cm dilated and still pregnant. I’m so over it.

I’ve gone to triage 3 times in the past 2 weeks with contractions minutes apart. Keep getting sent home because I don’t progress when there.

5 can go to 10 really fast! I can’t believe they haven’t kept you at the hospital!! ☹️🙄
i had a midwife appointment at 38+1 weeks but they didnt offer anything like that and will only do it if i reach 40 weeks!! sucks to be me right now lol. I'm ib the UK. I've had no complications so im thinking thats why they wont speed anything up.

I have a few medical issues that require them to induce me prior to 40 weeks. They started to sweep and stretch now to avoid pitocin.
