Anyone with midwives?

Question

Do you think my midwife will agree to strip my membranes at my 39 week appointment? They don’t typically until 41 weeks but I’ve had prodromal labor for a solid week now and was wondering if I should ask? They also don’t give me cervical checks and I don’t know if they’ll give me one without knowing where I’m at🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m a ftm😂 I just want the pain to stop or to go into active labor now

Answer

Have sex (smell softens cervix) and then stimulate your nipples, worked wonders and I was in active labor a couple hours later :)

Answer

You can always ask.

Answer

My midwife didn’t want to do any of that until I was past due. She was going to let me go straight to 41.5 weeks until I had a mental breakdown and begged her to induce me right at 41 weeks 😂😂she was super earthy crunchy though, which in retrospect I really did appreciate. I’m going to go with a midwife this time around as well!

Answer

I’m obese and at a higher risk for preeclampsia and I know my midwife is planning on sweeping my membranes at 38 weeks so we can get the show on the road.
