Hello everyone! I have really stressful questions.....
Yesterday was my due date and I had a cervical sweep (I had reduced baby movements, so doctor decided that I'm in early stage of labour and need it).
I also had internal examination and CTG- everything was perfect (but movements).
After I went home, I was really stressed and scared, baby moved through the evening and night, but his moves was so weak and slow. And also I had a plenty of Braxton hicks - really uncomfortable but not regular contractions that feels like period pain.
And now I woke up, baby is moving like always - I see and feel him. I don't have any contractions at all. But I have a pink/light brown discharge. (Yesterday it was ok after sweep, but now is it?).
So I have questions:
1) is this discharge normal?
2) is it normal that my labour didn't start after sweep?
3) WHATS GOING ON?! 😭😭😭😭
Sounds like the pink tinge discharge could be your show (totally normal!) yes it's normal that you haven't gone into labour after a sweep, they don't always work straight away. Don't worry as long as baby is moving well, baby will come when ready xx
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Having the sweep today does it hurt and does it really bring on labour?? I have had cramps all night
Contraction questions
I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
I know I've posted this before but when your water was leaking did it stay leaking or just with movements or what? Did you get contractions shortly after or no? I rolled out of bed and felt warmth leak out but Idk if it was possibly urine or what...never had it happen. It didn't smell like anything really...I know I should either call l&d or go in but I just want some experiences please. I want to wait a bit just in case it's nothing.
Has anyone had a low birth weight baby and then went on to have a "normal sized" baby after?
Like for instance... A 4 lb baby then a 8 lb baby.
🤔 I have questions lol
It sounds normal to me I had a sweep and went another 6 days till my lb came. And it sounds like your discharge is normal maybe worth giving your hv or midwife a ring they will soon tell you. Keep moving and run up the stairs like a crab hopefully your baby will be here soon!! Good luck!!!!!
