Is this normal with a membrane sweep?

Amanda

I’m 39 weeks and 4 days. I had my weekly check up today. The previous weeks I was not dilated at all. Today she said I was “barely dilated”. I believe the OB possibly did a membrane sweep and stretch and she felt where the baby’s head was which was still quite high up.

So since having that done, I’ve been having like shooting pains in my crotch and occasional period-like cramps. A little dark brown like blood too when I wipe.

Is this normal following a membrane sweep and stretch? What are your experiences?
