Had a failed sweep yesterday at 40+0 (cervix was closed and posterior but soft and midwife was able to stretch it a little). Have had a little bloody mucus since but have absolutely horrendous back pain since last night. Also had very very painful cramps/tightenings. I know it’s not labour because the cervix was closed but just wondering if anybody else had so much pain and discomfort following their sweep? I also feel like baby hasn’t moved as much as normal since the sweep :(

If baby hasn't moved as normal - triage ASAP!

Contact triage for reduced movements. Also I believe you still could be contracting despite the cervix being closed. Best get checked at the hospital. Best of luck xxx

That doesn't mean anything... cervix can be high posterior and closed then you can have a baby in your arms the same day. It'll move when it's ready.
I would contact about movements though.
