Also don't forget to tag whoever your talking to :) I just happened to scroll back by your post. But yes, I'm almost 39 weeks I'll be going to the hospital tmrw night, but I've been getting checked since 34 weeks when I went to the hospital for the same pain & using the bathroom a lot and it always hurt me really bad, maybe bc my cervix is pushed to the right so I've been checked 8 times all together but I went today and he checked me again, stretched me to a full 3cm && swept my membranes again and it actually didn't hurt this time, I guess bc I'm progressing more? I'm not sure.. But every time Ive gotten checked I've been in extreme pain afterwards, but usually goes away the next day, just gets irritated from being checked

Okay yeah I figured the spotting might be from that cause I mean everytime I go the cervical checks get more painful. I've been struggling with contractions since 32 weeks so I think I might call them tomorrow we'll in the morning. I'm just in immense pain with extreme amounts of pressure especially in my lower back

Every time I've been checked I've spotted. They told me it's normal to feel the way you are and spot (as long as it's not bright red) after you get your cervix checked
