Sweep at 38 weeks

Pippa

I’m 38+1 I had a sweep yesterday afternoon. She said I was 1-2cm and 6 favourable (What ever that means) but she said my cervix is really soft which is a good sign.. today I’ve had some bloody discharge and now it’s a bit slimy but I have already lost my mucus plug a few days ago.. is this a good sign that labour could be soon? Praying as been told baby already weighs 8lb 5oz as I’m on high dependency and have to have scans regularly.
