Wasn't sure whether to post this in Pregnancy or Childbirth...
I'm currently 40+6. I had a sweep yesterday which wasn't successful - midwife said my cervix was shut tight and posterior. My Bishop's score was 2 due to my cervix being soft, but I scored 0 everywhere else.
My question is - I've been having a bit of brown spotting since, and am confused by it. If the cervix was tightly shut, the midwife probably didn't manage to get in there and touch the membranes, so I'm wondering where this blood is coming from? She wasn't especially heavy-handed I don't think, it was uncomfortable but tolerable.
Have got another sweep booked for Thursday and induction for Sunday/Monday but really hoping things start spontaneously, although with such a low Bishop's score I'm not holding my breath...
