Awesome!! I just went to the bathroom and noticed bloody mucus on the toilet paper...mine were stripped like 6 hours ago...do you think it was caused from having the membranes stripped, or could it have been bloody show???

Honestly, I found it very painful lol but over quick!!! I think it was more painful because my cervix is.still high so my.doc had to really reach for it. I.had.immediate cramping afterward, but.that only lasted for like 15 mins.
