Hii, i am only 16 years old and tbh i don't really have many people to talk to , and i am too shy to ring my midwife tbh.
Wednesday morning my midwife came to my house and gave me a sweep, she expected my cervix to be completely closed but it was 1cm dilated, since my sweep i have been experiencing sharp pains now and again just below my nicker line, tbh it feels like shooting pains?
also i have been having like a stringy, jelly white discharge.?
i dont really know why? can anyone help please?

29+3

Why on earth did she give you a sweep when you are only 29 weeks?????!!!!!

I think you need to get checked over!

why has your MW given you a sweep at 29+3???

You need to contact your Midwife or Dr hun. You shouldnt be shy you will have these people down there when you are in labour - its their job, they dont 'care' about what they see, they see hundreds of them weekly. Please go and see someone. It may be Braxton Hicks but to be on the safe side you should spk to a proffesional. xxx

omg, why did ur midwife give u a sweep at 29 weeks?? xx

also if your MW has given u a sweep then surely you have nothing to be shy about? Hope all is ok. xx

maybe she meant 39+3? I hope so.

because of my age she said he could give me a sweep if i wanted one but it was my choice. im not really sure what it is but when ive looked it up on the internet it just all says totally different things, but most say this is common. =Z
thanks for advice.
x

are you 29+3 or 39+3???????

Your age would not mean anything? Is your MW fully qualified? Somethings a bit dodgy here.

sorry i meant to put 39 + 3. ooopss x

its not common for anybody to have a sweep at 29 weeks! i would go and see your doctor as soon as,x x x

i must be stupid. after me reading all of these i did not twig that id put 29 + 3. sorry i meant 39 +3. x

Hmm, apologies if I'm wrong, but this smells like a Troll...

oh thank god for that! phew!

Yes hun you need to see your MW, it could be Braxton Hicks or it could be the start of labour. What about your partner/mum - who is you birthing partner?

xxxx

are you really only 29 weeks?? if so i would contact the community midwife office at your local hospital as it sounds as though your midwife isn't doing a proper job, a sweep brings on labour which at 29 weeks could have a fatal effect on your baby.

tbh, no midwife in their right mind would sweep a cervix at 29 weeks tbh, particularly when young maternal age is linked with premature birth.

tbh I think someone is getting a little bit bored with the tail end of half term, aren't they? TBH?

my partner knows bluddy nothing lol. he's as much use as a handbrake on a cannoe lol. my step mum and partner are my birth partners. i thought id see on here if anyone knew before going to my step mum. but when she gets home from work i shall talk to her about it. ty. oh and sorry about getting my weeks wrong lol.x

yeah same as junie who do you have as your birth partner???

whats this meant to mean?

phew had me worried then lol,

having a sweep helps to bring on labour, so could be the start.. if your feeling unconftable then u could alwyas ring your midwife for advice, if you darnt ring hun ist there anyone who could ring for you? xxxx

thats a bit harsh MrsSetters, why not give her the benifit of the doubt that she typed wrong?

In that case since you are 39 weeks I would def say to someone how you are feeling as this could be a gentle start of things!
