Updated..Did she sweep my membranes?! š³
I had an appointment today & I switched midwives cause I couldnāt stand the other one & this one was a sweetheart & she actually listened to me & my concerns about not having another big baby (last was 10.6lbs) anyways..I asked her if she could possibly strip my membranes if need be because my body tends to hold onto babies and I canāt remember what she said because she worded it odd but basically she typically wouldnāt because itās considered induction but she could āaccidentallyā do it thatās not the word she used but she was basically saying sheād do it but it sounded like she said sheād do it while checking for dilation..
Well she goes to check me & sheās REALLY rough like it hurt and it took her about a min and a half it seemed and I was looking up at the ceiling like wow this is uncomfortable! She told me I was 1cm dilated, the last midwife who checked me took all of 10secs & it didnāt hurt at all...do you think she went ahead and stripped them for me? When your dr checks you is it usually uncomfortable? I felt like she was elbow deep and her hand was moving back and forth it seemed.. thanks ladies!
Update: Iām BLEEDING! Does that mean she definitely did? Or can bleeding occur after getting your cervix checked? Hereās a pic sorry if itās TMI
