You want to do what?

Any intervention is one to be thought over carefully. You need to educate yourself about anything your doctor is proposing. You doctor may have anterior motives like a schedule to keep or catching up on sleep. One of the “lightest” forms of intervention is stripping a mother’s membranes.

“A healthy pregnancy will end when baby and mom are ready so if a care provider routinely does membrane stripping he may have a more medical or highly managed philosophy of birth and this intervention is then likely to be the first of many. Membrane sweeping may also inadvertently undermine a woman's trust that her body will know when to birth. On the other hand, if the pregnancy needs to end, membrane stripping is a great option to try before advancing to other more invasive and higher risk methods.”
