Anybody have their membrane stripped at 38 weeks?

[xoxo_lynn17]

Today I am 38 weeks and just had my membrane stripped. I've been dilated at 3 since 31 weeks and my contractions haven't done anything else to my cervix after I was given medicine to stop pre-term labor. Anybody else have their membrane stripped at 38 weeks? How long did it take for your water to break or for you to have contractions?

I posted something similar to this yesterday I had a sweep was 3cm dilated and got really bad contractions after I went to hospital to have a check and hadn't dilated anymore the midwife gave me some painkillers and sent me home I took 2 and the pain seemed to ease then again today I been getting bad contractions like pain and in my back and hips now I also had quite a bit of show this morning...Did u have anything like this I'm jusg curious to know if all this discomfort is actually worth it

I didn't. I walked a lot after. That night my water broke with one. My son is a longer story but, no pain like that.

Did you have really bad cramping/sharp pains in your pelvis?

Yes with my first two I got them stripped at 38 weeks and went into labor 24-48hrs with both of them.
