Does stripping the membrane help start labor?
Stripping membranes, sometimes called membrane sweeping, is a method used to try to start labor. The health care provider puts her or his finger into the cervix -- the mouth of the uterus -- and uses the finger to gently separate the bag of water from the side of the uterus near the cervix. It is easily done in the office during a regular pelvic exam.

About Labor
Labor is the strenuous process a mother goes through to give birth to a child. The process is divided into stages; during each stage, the cervix opens wider and contractions happen more frequently. In the final stage, the mother must help push the baby out.
