I am 39+6 today. I was given a sweep yesterday and started losing a lot of discharge almost straight away .
Felt like someone had kicked me in the fanjo all afternoon and very crampy .
At midnight I had a big show with streaks of blood in and some strong ctx but they wore off . Woke up at 3am with a couple more ctx and again they wore off .
This morning I am still losing lots of gunk it all looks normal and I am very crampy and occasionally having a strong ctx .
Despite already having 5 dc I have never had a sweep before and labour has never really started like this .
