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!

I had blood, mucus and cramps after all of mine

I had a membrane sweep on 39+6, had some cramps, a good amount of bleeding & then mild contractions that night. Those died down overnight & then @ ~36h after the sweep my water broke & I was in labor until my LO was born 23.5h later. Good luck!!

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.

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.

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!
