My doctor stretched my membranes twice (I'm 39 weeks also), but so far, no labor. Yeah, I'm in early labor, but no regular, strong contractions yet. I'm not sure if stretching is the same as stripping though. It was pretty uncomfortable, I can tell you that much!

My friend had hers stripped and she went into labor that night. Another lady I used to work with had them stripped and she went in five minutes and was not dialated at all.

I had my doctor do this last tuesday & went into labor on thursday. I read a few studies that NIH did & they came to the conclusion that it may not induce labor immediately, but ther is a higher incidence of spontaneous labor within 5 days if done. It did not hurt me at all when he did it, kind of messy, take a pantiliner with you for after.

I had mine stripped last Monday. It felt like a contraction when it was being done. Luckily my doc informed me of what she was doing and how it would feel so I took some deep breaths to relax myself. It was uncomfortable and hurt but I made it through. I am 38 weeks. Some bleeding is possible. I bled that afternoon a little and then 2 days later lost my mucus plug. So some bleeding and contractions are normal afterwards. Even the loss of the mucus plug like in my case. If the blood is bright red call the doctor. Or just to make your mind feel more at ease call them anyway if you are not sure. Good luck! And from what I have read on the internet after you have it done labor could occur within a few hours or not at all for a week or so. It just depends on your body and if the baby is ready to come out.
