So I have a question and would really like some insight on what you ladies may think it is. Yesterday at my 39 week appointment, I was checked for dilation and got a surprise membrane sweep with it. Lol. I assumed the midwife was gonna check me for dilation first and THEN do the sweep but she did it all at once. I was only 1 cm and still a little thick and she said she did about a half membrane sweep because of how tight everything still was, but she said you want to do it when the cervix is still thick so it'll thin out I guess. Howver she said to expect mucus- like spotting and cramping and to come in if contractions get so bad I can't speak through them. Now, yesterday I had a little gush of the spotty mucus after the appt before I showered and I just woke up with another small little gush of it. No cramping really. Just a hard belly. I have 48 hours to find out if the sweep worked. Do you ladies think it'll progress into labor? Do you think she might have jump started something ? Really don't want an induction.

I had contractions and couldn't feel them other than my belly getting hard, I had no pain or anything with it. but they were real contractions. try to keep track of how frequent your belly is getting hard.

That's what I am experiencing. I'll try to monitor them - thank you.

Like she said if they are not very painful then you could be in early labor but not active labor till you are breathing through them AND they are 5 minutes apart AND lasting no shorter than a minute. Sounds like you are moving in the right direction though

@mybabyloves, Thank you. I'm sure hoping all progresses well and soon. I just wanted to make sure I was feeling eveything normally.
