I had a membrane sweep done this morning (40+3) and since then I've been having regular cramps and tightenings. They are coming every 5-10 minutes give or take a few minutes here and there. They are pretty uncomfortable but I've still been able to go out for a walk etc. The MW said that the sweep can cause cramping but would it be this regular? I feel like this is it but dont want it all to stop and be really disappointed! Also been having bloody discharge all day (had this all day yesterday too- before sweep!) Oh and I was "a good 2cm dilated with a softening cirvix." Any experiences of this or any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Think this is probably it Emmeric! Sounds like plugs gone and if your cramps are that regular then I think it's not going to be long now.

Take care. Hope to check back soon and see some good news!!

Same thing happened to me after my sweep - dd was born 36 hours later! I guess by now congratulations are in order! xx

Hi all,
Just to update: that was it! Our gorgeous girl was born just 13 hours after having the stretch and sweep! Good job I didn't have that dinner party!
