First time mum 40+6 days had my second sweep today and lost my mucus plug and a few blood cots.
Having really intense period pains that ate coming and going and back ache.
I rang midwife as was worried about the blood clot but she said all sounds okay and that it could be start of things but I don't need to come in.
Didn't have this with the first sweep just had a bit of spotting.
Don't think I'm having contractions as all hurts low down an just feels uncomfortable when my stomach tenses rather than painful.
