Pain after sweep and swab

I’m 39 weeks pregnant today and following a growth scan this morning, I’m going to be induced on Friday.

I opted to have a sweep to try and help and midwife noticed I had a bit of thrush whilst doing the sweep.

She took a swab to check but prescribed pessary and cream anyway.

The swab was really painful (the sweep was ok). It felt like she was using a brush not a delicate thing like a cotton bud.

Anyway, ever since, going for a wee is extremely painful. Feels like I’m passing glass.

Has anyone else had the same after a sweep/swab?

I’m more inclined to think it’s the swab that’s caused the irritation, but can’t see why it would have caused this.
