Membrane Sweep!! Lost my mucus plug!!

Just had my membrane sweep this morning at 9:20am! I’m currently 38 weeks and 5 days! I’ve been trying self induce for the past week with pumping twice a day and bouncing on a ball! Any more suggestions?? I’ve been at a 1 since my august 7th appointment!! After the sweep I immediately started cramping so I’m hopeful!!
Fingers crossed I go into labor today or tomorrow🤩

UPDATE: I just lost my mucus plug at 6:20pm🤩

why did they give you a sweep and not me?? lol. Did you request it at your 38 week appt?

I’m not sure!! My dr walked in and asked how I was doing and I said I’m readyyyy and she said do you want me to see if I can stir things up? And I said YES PLEASE! I have always told her I want to go natural I don’t want to be induced so idk if that had an effect or not!

how does a membrane sweeep feel like?

Avatar

it definitely hurt!! But the pain only last a few minutes!

Avatar

I was also still only at a 1 so it was tough for her to get through!

Avatar

like afterwards or during? idk I got a cervix check but im not sure if my doctor did it without telling me?

Avatar

it felt like he was stretching me out but idk

Avatar

so it definitely felt different than a check! Instead of checking how opened your cervix is they push through your cervix! And wipe around in a literal sweeping motion for a minute or two so it lasted longer! She actually reached his head and felt that my sac was intact!

Avatar

I think they did that to me too 😭
fingers crossed it works 🤞🏼

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
