How soon did you go into labor?

Question

Had a sweep today, 4 almost 5 cm my doctor said and just an hour ago I had this. Is this it for me? Will labor start soon?!

Update: feeling fine and just lost this and it’s been 24 hours since my sweep. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe baby will come in the next few days? I’m not sure anymore 😫😩😭

Answer

Fingers crossed for you!!!!

Answer

Unfortunately, bloody show after a sweep doesn't always indicate labor.  I had a sweep at 40+4 and had my bloody show the next morning but didn't go into labor. Five days after the sweep I went to the hospital to be induced at 41+2 and got another, gentler sweep at 3pm upon being checked on arrival. Not sure whether or not it was coincidence or the second sweep, but contractions started 30 minutes later and I went into spontaneous labor without any artificial hormones. My daughter was born at 1:04am after 9.5 hours of labor. I hope the sweep is successful for you! Good luck,  mama!
