This is my second child. I am 2 days
over due. My next appointment is this
friday and I was wondering if anyone had
the experience of being "scrapped". I
was thinking of asking the Dr. To do this
because I have been in so much pain in my
pelvic area from the pressure. I can't
walk for very long and sitting isn't
comfertable either. Are these good
reasons to be induced? Do you think they
will give me a hard time about it? I am
just soo ready to have this baby!

Scrapping or stripping the membranes is
when the Dr. Seperates the bag of waters
from the cervix to "get things going". It
is supposed to stimulate production of
prostiglandins in the cervix and bring on
contractions.
Unfortunatly I went to the doctors today
and they wouldnt do it for me...=( she
wants me to not work for the rest of my
pregnancy which im not too crazy about but
its dr's orders I guess.

Why would you want to work??? Stay home
and relax. How old is your first child.
Mine are 20 mos apart and I was sooo
exhausted during my second preg. Mostly
from taking care of my first baby.
Anyway, they shouldn't give you a hard
time about being induced. I didn't want
to be induced, but with my last baby they
set an induction date anyway. Hope you
go soon.
