I had it done with DS1, since he was 8 days late and they wouldn't let me go to 12 days past my due date because of low amniotic fluid. They striped my membranes at 9:00am on 8/30/2010 and he was born at 3:53am on 8/31/2010! I went into labor exactly 12hours after it was done at 9:00pm.
I was mildly uncomfortable. It felt like menstrual cramps when it was done, and I had Braxton Hicks for a while afterward.
I didn't have it done with DS2 because he came four days early! I would do it again in a heartbeat.
GL to you!

I had it every apt with my midwives starting at 37 weeks with the last two pregnancies. It hurt for me but only bc I was not very dialated and had posterior cervix. My babies didn't drop until labour (which I'm told is common). I had spotting after and some cramps but I unfortunately did not go into labour and went overdue both times. it still made me feel like I was actively doing something to get the show on the road. I would definitely do it again😊
Good luckMama to 2 DS and 2 DD and 1 angel DD

I had it done when my son was a few days late. It wasn't memorably painful or uncomfortable. It also didn't start my labor.

I had it done twice. It will definitely start some contractions but if baby isnt ready they will stop. I thought getting it done hurt a lot but my cervix is in a funny spot which makes everything more painful to me.

Had it done once and it wasn't great but not the worst pain I've ever had either. I'd equate to getting ears pierced but in a more sensitive part of anatomy. I was 4 or 5 days late when I had it done, and I was having mild contractions in the car on the way home and had him about 12 hours later.

That is the biggest thing baby jones. If this gets you the birth experience you want, you go for it! Remember everyone's pain threshold is different and all in how its done. A sharp pain is always worse than a slowly increasing pain but some people can just shrug both off like its nothing.

What Rosie said. Unless baby is actually ready then only medical induction or a problem will start labour. When baby's lungs are fully mature they release a surfactant that sends a hormone signal to your body that the time is right
