Strip Membranes?

I hope this isn't too forward...I was wondering if anyone has had any success with this being done? It didn't work with my 1st ds. My midwife wants to start doing this at 37 weeks and I am not sure if it will work or not?

I've heard it works sometimes but not always. My doctor recommended NOT doing it...

I wonder why she wants to do that? Why not let nature take its course? Is there a reason to try & speed things along? I wouldn't allow that to happen if there is no reason.

I have had this done with both my pregnancies.

I had this done with my ds. I can't say if it did anything specifically, because I was already dilated 3 cm. I had him three days later, but like I said I was already headed in that direction on my own.
