Cramps after a sweep or contractions?!

Lola

I’m nearly 39 weeks and had a sweep yesterday. The midwife said I was at 1cm. Last night I started getting cramps, period type pains but not as bad... every hour or so.

I’m wondering if these are contractions or just cramps from the sweep? Has anyone had similar. They seem to be less frequent today but not sure if it’s just as I was more conscious about it as was lying still in bed.

Any advice much appreciated! Thanks!
