My doctor stripped my membranes today at 2cm dilated and 50% effaced and -2 station. how often does stripping membranes start labor?

It can help you: It is hard to say exactly the percentage of time stripping can help, but anectodely it can. It is hard to say if it is stripping or just time to go into labour.
