BRAXTON HICKS STOPPED AFTER SWEP

Please guys help me! :(

I'm 38+3 and I had a swep 2 days ago due to me being induced on Sunday, I wanted to have a sweep to avoid having to be induced in hospital.

Before the sweep ive had constant braxton hicks 40/50 a day at least for about 1-2 months that's gotten worse and longer the closer I've been getting to labour.
After the sweep they are completely GONE?! Sad
I feel like I've progressed backwards.. has anyone else had experience from this?

Well think about it like this, having had all those BH throughout your pregnancy your labour has a good chance of being quicker 👍
I always get loads of BH as well, your baby might just not be ready to come yet, regardless. Are they concerned about growth? My first was induced at 39weeks for ?IUGR but my second and third were spontaneous at 38 & 40 weeks.
