I had a sweep today, Dr said my cervix is soft 1cm thick, im 2cm dilated and cervix anterior, I've just had alarge bloody show (sorry for tmi) afetr a long walk. do you think the sweep might have worked? Im 40 weeks today with second baby, first baby induced so not sure what to expect. I had a sweep at 41 weeks with first and got nothing so this bloody show seems positive?!
