40+4 weeks!

So I am 40+4 days and today at my appointment I got my membranes stripped. At my last appointment I was only 1 1/2cm dilated. Which was on Thursday I believe. Now I'm 3cm dilated thank goodness! So my OB stripped me (hehe). And if I don't have her before then, I'm being induced on Thursday! Yay! So excited<3

For me it was really really uncomfortable and hurt quite a bit. But I have heard it's different for everyone
