membrane stripping.

I went to my appt today and got my membrane stripped. I found out I was already 4cm dilated I didnt even know. Omg I havent even finished baby packing I thought I had 1wk left. Guess I gotta start doing it now. Doc said with me that far dilated expect to have the baby soon. Before the weekend ends hopefully she aint lying.

Good luck! I was 3 cm when I had it done with my last one and he arrived within 10 hrs. Just try to relax and not stress. Stress can cause labor to stall if it begins.
