I’m 40 + 1 weeks today so obviously not very over due but still fed up none the less.
I had a sweep on Friday at 39 + 3 and she said I was 3cms, baby was low and cervix was favourable. She even said to look out for labour signs in the next 24 hours because she was confident that it would work for me. After the sweep I bled quite a bit which was scary but she said it was normal. This then turned to brown spotting after a few hours. That night I was having irregular cramps and contractions some got quite intense and I didn’t sleep that night at all.
I was okay all day Saturday and then Saturday night I lost my bloody show/mucus plug (it was a a lot!!). I had another sleepless night of cramps and contractions. I continued to lose my plug with blood in it all day Sunday and ended up going to the hospital to get it checked out. Everything was fine it was confirmed to be just my bloody show and nothing to worry about. They performed another sweep at the doctors and I was still 3cms and favourable etc.
Sunday, Monday and last night were again sleepless nights with cramps and pains. I also lost more of my show this morning which had turned red again (red bloody mucus! Not red blood on its own). I called triage again this morning and they said that’s normal to keep losing it until birth.
I generally don’t know what to do anymore I haven’t sleep more than a few hours in 5 nights. I’m exhausted and fed up that it all only happens at night and stops in the day!! I’m also fed up of seeing constant mucus when I wipe. I have no idea what my body is doing anymore and I’ve lost hope of ever meeting our little one 😥
has this happened to any one else? I just need to rant and cry to people who understand how I’m feeling. I feel so down :(
