Cervical ectropian and bleeding 33 weeks

I’ve been in for monitoring 3 times now, this pregnancy is my second baby and I’ve had bleeding on and off throughout which I didn’t have last time, and it’s got worse as the months have gone on. Each time I have the monitoring I have to have an examination which is painful and makes me bleed more, each time my cervix has been closed but I’ve been told I have ectropian.

I always seem to have to go in after I’ve had a period of being really active either with my toddler all day and/or lots of walking. Whenever I’ve taken it easy the bleeding has stopped.

It’s happened again this weekend, I did loads of walking Friday and yesterday and I’ve had pink discharge followed by a clot and some red blood this morning. Movements are fine with baby.

Should I go in for monitoring again? I know I should but I keep feeling like I know it’ll be the same outcome, spend hours in there, painful examination, get told the same thing. We only have one car so I feel conscious of my toddler not being able to do what we had planned with my husband because I’ll have the car.

I have to go in don’t I? I need to take it easy more so I don’t end up in this situation but it’s very hard with a busy life and active child ☹️

Hi OP,

I'm a midwife, also second baby and in a similar position you, however instead of an ectropian I have a polyp which gives me post coital bleeding (so have put myself on a ban until we'll after baby 🤣)

It's tricky, because there could always be that one occasion where it's not just the ectropian, however you can decline anything you're not comfortable with and can also ask for gas and air to have any future examinations if it makes it more tolerable?
