Bleeding and back pain after cervix check

So i’m 37w1d today, and I got an elective cervical check. last week i was 0cm but today when she checked i was 2cm and also bled and still am slightly. ever since i’ve had back cramps and it’s harder to walk, is this normal? should i expect to go into labor soon?

Cramping and light bleeding/spotting is normal after a cervical check!

It’s normal and you could go into labor but it’s never a direct indication. Did your Dr perform the check? I just never understand why it’s so intense that it causes us so much pain and agony afterwards

I had blood tinged tp for nearly a week after a cervical check. I was in the ER cause I fell and apparently they had to do cervical check.

yes my OB did it, she was actually shocked i had dilated so quick and my cervix softened within a week but i guess everyone’s different lol

I just had a check done 3.5 hours ago and it was a lot more uncomfortable than last time (also didn’t bleed last time) I was bleeding quite a bit right after and I’m still bleeding. I don’t think bleeding is an indication of labor starting though. Just a normal part of cervical checks.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
