Stripped Membranes

Jennifer • Thu, Jan 25 • Hello, my name is Jen. I will be 35 in January and due with baby #4 in May 2021. My oldest son is 14, our daughter will be 5, and our youngest son will be 3 when baby boy arrives.

Anyone else’s OB tell them they aren’t going to strip their membranes unless they are at least 4cm dilated?!!! Seriously?! Help me try to get something started!!!!! I’ve been 1cm for 4 weeks now.

I’ve been using EPO, RRLT, sex, and bouncing on my ball (it’s too cold to walk lol I hate being cold). What else can I possibly do? I have a csection scheduled for the 31st that I REALLY don’t want 😔 I want this baby to come naturally and I want to have the birth I’ve always dreamed about.
