so i had a sweep done this morning around 10, it was pretty painful but doc told me my cervix was looking really good, im 39 weeks.
so i get home still feeling normal and after about an hour i have a gush of loads of brown mucus discharge with some red clotting in it! is this my show? and if it is does that mean the sweep is working and i should maybe get my bags ready just incase?????? thanks so much xx

Yep sounds like it. Get bags packed Grin

Yup it's a show and yes your sweep worked

And labour can happen pretty soon after or not

Pack your bag, and get comfy - if CX start then woo hooo!

If you want to speed things up, walk up lots of stairs, and sit on your yoga ball, roll those hips.

I think it won't be very much longer! I definitely say yes to lots of walking and get an early night you'll need your rest as well! Good luck!
