Membranes

Can you ask your doctor to strip your membranes to help speed up labor? Or do they have to suggest it? I'm 37 weeks, 2cm dilated, and my daughter is laying on my sciatic nerve so I'm in so much pain.

The doctor can strip your membranes to help speed up labor, I'm supposed to be induced at 39 weeks because I'm on bed rest, but I wanted to get them stripped in hopes that I don't have to be induced.
