Mine never turned into labor :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236806 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 22:11:33 +0000 MrsB2012 2236806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a regular scheduled dr apt and stated having regular contractions about 30 mins before hand. At the appt she did a check ( but it was a resident and she was really digging around up there, so you could probably consider it a sweep haha.) They sent me to the hospital and I was there about 15 minutes later. As we were waking into the hospital I had a huge gush of blood. A lot. Baby was born less than 2 hours later. Sounds like you're close for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236799 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:59:03 +0000 simplyfelicity 2236799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No spotting for either of mine but they also didn't "work." FX it's the start of something for you! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236793 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:52:23 +0000 delight 2236793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes lots of blood after mine but I had already been bleeding for 5 weeks. But this upped the ante for sure. I went into labour the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236791 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:51:39 +0000 regberadaisy 2236791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might start timing the cramps! My contractions felt like period cramps at first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236768 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:24:34 +0000 tofuwad 2236768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two so far, one at 38 and then today at 39 weeks. :) The first time I was 1.5cm and 30% effaced and the second I was 2/30 and so far just some pressure, no bleeding or even anything I can definitively call cramping with either one. Also, my baby is still fairly high up and hasn't dropped down much, so I feel like these sweeps are just wishful thinking. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236630 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:12:47 +0000 Mrs D 2236630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I did with mine. I had sweeps at 38-40.... Spotting after each one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236628 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:12:35 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2236628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a membrane sweep on 39+6, had some cramps, a good amount of bleeding &amp; then mild contractions that night. Those died down overnight &amp; then @ ~36h after the sweep my water broke &amp; I was in labor until my LO was born 23.5h later. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236607 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 18:56:55 +0000 Anagram 2236607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is EXACTLY what happened to me after a membrane sweep and it DID turn into labor when I was 39 weeks with LO 1. </p> <p>I hope it's labor for you! Good luck! Try to rest! I was so excited with early labor signs I didn't sleep all night, and then labor kicked my ass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236591 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 18:48:32 +0000 mrsjyw 2236591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping!</p> <p>9 hours later I'm still spotting and heavy cramping. I really hope it means something is happening down there!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236440 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:07:34 +0000 mrsjyw 2236440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms. pug: fingers crossed I get as lucky!!</p> <p>@hilsy85: thanks friend!</p> <p>@yellowbird: did it induce labor naturally at all for you?</p> <p>I lost my mucous plug with DS1, and a lil bit of bloody show. The second one I got at my 40w appt did put me into labor the following day.... fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236427 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:53:03 +0000 yellowbird 2236427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had blood, mucus and cramps after all of mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236377 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:08:44 +0000 hilsy85 2236377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some spotting and lost my mucous plug after my 39wk membrane sweep. Water broke 2 days later! Excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236376 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:08:10 +0000 ms. pug 2236376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a membrane sweep but i bled after every cervical check at that point. significantly. At 38.5 I was 3.5 cm and 80% effaced and had baby at exactly 39 weeks :) sounds like you're getting close- good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-bleed-after-getting-membranes-swept#post-2236367 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:54:39 +0000 mrsjyw 2236367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 38.5 weeks and had my first membrane sweep mid-morning. OB said I was at 3cm and thinner than when he checked me two weeks ago... didn't give me a %, but I think I saw him typing 50 or 70% in the computer. </p> <p>Anyway, I've had some mild cramping on/off for the last few hours and spotting and blood (bright red mostly) and a few mucousy pieces since the sweep too.</p> <p>I'm not freaking out since he told me to expect bleeding. And it's not heavy enough to soak through a pad. But, it is pretty consistent.</p> <p>I never had this with either of my sweeps with DS1 so just curious to what others' experiences are...! </p>
