I got my membranes stripped! Find out what that means here
I am barely 2 cm dilated, but he did it anyway! There was a lot of pressure and my eyes welled up with tears. It was really awkward because he was in there for a long time, and we were talking (about pregnancy stuff, obviously) and making eye contact. Ladies, eye contact during an internal is never, ever cool. The only time I enjoy staring deep into a mans eyes whilst having my vagina probed is DURING SEX! Anyway, he showed me his fingers (so much awkwardness at this appointment) and said that there's a bit of blood, which is normal, and I'll continue to spot. I am spotting, at first it was very dark red blood and brown, now it's a lighter red. I'm cramping now. And I have lots of pressure -- since leaving the OB office. It hurts to walk. Apparently if it's effective labour starts within 24 - 48 hours, but I could still go for the whole 40 weeks and beyond. My next appointment is on the thirteenth and if there is no baby, I will request another sweep.
As much as I want this little girl out, I'd still like to have some awesome sex before 6 weeks of celibacy. OB also said that "sexual relations" will help me dilate. Where is my damn boyfriend when I need him?!
