Ftm, I had a membrane sweep today at 40+1 and my doctor said its normal to have cramping/discharge. Well I did get some bloody discharge and have been cramping horribly since I left the office. It's been 9 hours of nonstop cramping and I'm just confused. People describe contractions as feeling like period cramps but they don't come and go so I can time them. I also feel like my baby is repeatedly ramming her head into my pelvis. It's just getting to be ridiculous because it's 2:30am where I live and I can't sleep at all the pain is so bad. Are these contractions or something else?
