Sensitive Content Warning - Blood on Pad

Hey yall! So I went for my 39 week check in, and we scheduled an induction date for this next Monday, the 13th. I also had a membrane sweep done (my second), and I had a lot more bleeding than the first time. The first time I had it done, I just had a few drops of blood and some brown discharge (I think parts of my mucus plug). This time though about an hour after, I had a lot of brown and dark blood on the pad. It’s slowed down since and now is mainly brown discharge. I called my OB to be sure it is normal and she said yes. I’m just nervous because I didn’t think that much blood was normal after a membrane sweep. Anyone else have experience with this? Also, having a lot of period cramp feelings that are coming and going. Hoping that means she may come before my induction date. Any advice??

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

Feeling weird

Hey all. I went in for a reassurance scan this morning as I have been feeling consistent movement for the last few weeks, and then no movement since Sunday night, and some hiccups yesterday morning. While the nurse was doing my scan, she goes “are you eating enough?” Should I be worried about that comment? It has me feeling weird ever since :/

I can’t walk or move!

30 weeks pregnant and for the past week I’ve had this really weird pain all down my right hip, bum and leg. It’s like it all locks in place but if I bend down and I’m fine I come back up and get stuck. I can barely walk or move because every time I do I’m in agony. It’s so much worse at night time. Tried a hot water bottle on it and paracetamol and nothing seems to be helping it. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to stop it?

Had a fall

I had a fall today and my OB recommended going in for monitoring but I’m terrified that they will try and do blood work when all my OB wants is fetal monitoring because I have a history of preterm labor.
