I am 38 weeks on friday and i am going to see the Dr tomarrow to get my membranes stripped, I am 1 1/2 cm and 50% faced i am having contractions every 3 min to every 10 min. Went into L&D twice when i was 36 weeks because i was having contractions every 2 to 3 min and they gave me a pill to stop them. My question is With stripping my membrans tomarrow does it work and put you into labor or should i just not do it because it is going to waste my time?

You sound like you will go any minute and especially with stripping your membranes I bet you will go into labor. Good luck:)
