Question:

What exactly do they do when they "strip your membranes?"?

Yeh.. what do they do and is it painful??


Answers:

Stripping your membranes is what they do prior to breaking your water bag, in hopes that it will bring on labor. (If your question is not in regards to being pregnant, then I have no idea!) This separates the waterbag from the cervix in hopes that the bag will break on its own, but the procedure may break it as well. Breaking the water bag will bring on more intense and regular contractions so that labor progresses faster. Good luck!
