I got a cervical check today. I’m 36+2. I asked my midwife to do it due to my previous birth being 7cm dilated without feeling any contractions. I’m scared of suddenly having to push on my own alone without warning as to labor starting. I’ve been losing my mucus plug daily for two weeks now. I’m 2cm and 70% effaced. And I’ve got brown blood in my underwear now. It’s more than I would have expected. Last time I wasn’t checked until 39 weeks and had a stretch and sweep done at the same time. She’s very gentle and has small hands. It didn’t hurt getting checked, just a little uncomfortable. I’m just surprised to see the blood without having a stretch and sweep done.
