Stripping the Membranes

Today I am 38 weeks pregnant. I went to the doctor this morning and am 2 cm dilated. She stripped my membranes to get things going and said hopefully I will go into labor and deliver my baby this week. I’ve been searching online and it seems that stripping the membranes works wonders for some and doesn’t do a thing for others. Hope I am one of the lucky ones that it works for. I had some spotting and cramping, but know this is normal. I want to start trying all the natural labor inducers. I’ve heard of walking, sex, spicy food, eggplant parmesan, raspberry leaf tea. I never thought I’d be this anxious, but I am tired of being pregnant and just plain tired and uncomfortable. I am ready to meet my baby boy!!! Bring on the labor.
