Hi everyone, yesterday I went for a sweep so at 41+2 at 9.30am. I refused one at 40+2 because I didn’t feel body was ready. Anyway she did the sweep, said I was very thin didn’t say how effaced but held her fingers to me less than a cm, said cervix open, she could get a finger tip in but got two fingers in to sweep around and that she felt the babies head and that it was extremely low so very stretchy! I went and did shopping later on and around 8pm lost mucous bloody plug two big bits of it and had some clear discharge all day today, had constant period pain and back ache basically since having it done and around 2/3 hours ago I’d say I’m getting what I “think” are contractions, it feels more in my lower back, extreme pressure into my bum almost, I can’t say I’m feeling much tightening in my stomach though? They seem to be coming and lasting but haven’t started timing yet as they’re not that close together maybe every 10-15 minutes.
is it normal to feel the pain in your back more than anything?? Tens machine seems to be really helping me at this stage anyway!
