[ElenorRigby]

Help!!What could be wrong am having bad bleed after sweep!!

Everything seemd ok until 20 odd minutes ogo!!

[scorpio1]

ring the midwife, i dont know much about sweeps, never had one.

[NineUnlikelyTales]

Ring the MW. It is probably fine but ring to reassure yourself.

[foxybrown]

yes, ring the midwife, or delivery suite at your hospital.

you could expect some light bleeding and a show, but a bad bleed doesnt sound right.

Good luck, hope you are ok.

[Sazisi]

Hope you are okay

[Meeely2]

could be your placenta has broken away if you are overdue - call midwife immediately

[chocolatemummy]

had a sweep and gave birth following early morning, dont remeber bledding though so get help straight away

[scorpio1]

have you rung yet? let us know xx

[Mumpbump]

Ring antenatal clinic at hospital or m/w. I had a sweep and had no bleeding afterwards. Probably nothing, but you can't be too careful.

[ElenorRigby]

DP works at maternity hospital he has rang MW's and is coming home to get me ASAP!

[saffymum]

ElenorRigby post again to tell us how you are doing. We'll keep you company.

[scorpio1]

Good, good. you will be ok, try not to worry. Let us know later if you can that you & baba are well.

[NineUnlikelyTales]

Take your hospital bag just in case (sorry for stating the obvious). Best of luck, I bet you meet your baby soon

[scorpio1]

and maybe grab something to eat, for energy?

[LadyTophamHatt]

I didn't bleed after sweeps but the show I had with ds2 was very bloody. More like a period.

Let sus knwo how things go....

Good luck

[ElenorRigby]

Bleeding this late could be placental aburption shit shit shit !!

DP should be here soon!!

[chocolatemummy]

def get some food because might your last chance and you'll need it if baba is coming

[NineUnlikelyTales]

I had lot of fresh looking blood with my show too. Don't panic ElenorRigby, I'm sure it could be lots of things.

[scorpio1]

don't worry, you will get there. is it far?

[saffymum]

Is he going to be there soon or do you feel you need a ride in a lovely shiny ambulance?

Just stay calm, sit down next to your hospital bag and have a cup of tea. Fretting isn't going to help, I'm sure it will all be fine.

[lissie]

i had a sweep with ds and bled for about an hour afterward. doc was very rough. try not to panic, you will be holding your baby soon. x

[Fireflyfairy2]

I had a sweep with ds & bled for ages after too. I needed a sanitary pad.

He still wasn't born for another 2 weeks!

[tissy]

You don't mention pain.. placental abruption usually painful, IIRC. Don't panic!

[pinkrangerstartstowaddle]

Good Luck ER - Hope that everything is ok

[scorpio1]
