Membrane sweep

So I went for a sweep yesterday at 38 weeks and she said my cervix was shortened and felt soft but I was only maybe 1/2cm dilated. She managed to get in a bit and gave it a good go at a sweep. As soon as I left I had cramps and pale pink mucus. Over the last 24 hours I’ve had brown / pink discharge pretty much constantly that has just stopped and wayyy more cramps
has anyone had a similar experience. Midwife didn’t say it was a failed sweep but equally I know it won’t be as effective as it might’ve been
I’m hoping I’m 1cm tomorrow so she can get a better go

Is there a reason you got it at 38 weeks? Would you wait until 40 and things might be more ready?

I’m being induced on Friday anyway as he’s on the 95th centile and I’ve struggled massive with my mental health so they are working with me to try and get things going before then
