What does getting your membranes stripped feel like?

Question

I’m hoping to get them done at my next appointment (37 weeks) after reading up on it. It seems very painful! I still want them done but I just want to be prepared for how bad it’s going to hurt and what it feels like?

Answer

It wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. Feels like getting fingered by someone who has absolutely no idea what they're doing 😂

Answer

Just had mine done. Feels like a person putting two fingers in your vagina and trying to reach as far as they can before wiggling their fingers a little bit 😂 it was definitely not comfortable but I wouldn't say it was painful.

Answer

I had mine done at 37 weeks because I was being induced at 38. I found it very painful but I also have a very sensitive cervix.

Answer

When I had mine done at 39 weeks it wasn't painful. It was slightly uncomfortable when the midwife was sweeping her fingers around but I wouldn't say it was painful at all. But everyone is obviously different. It was over in seconds 😊
