Am 40 weeks 2 days & I got it done today & I have been bleeding mostly all day too & my mucus plug is coming out to the midwife tht did the sweep said it was normal to bleed but if it was a lot of blood like runing down your leg or with blood clots then you have to go to l&D

call if you feel somethings not right but ive read on the membrane sweep leaflet it says its normal to bleed after. hope things get going for you soon. have you tried pineapple juice. propper stuff from concentrate. it does someething to my little man. i have a full carton of it everyone few days. have raspberry leaf tea about 3 cups max a day and try walk as much as possible .x

What color? Like brown or a red? If it's been all day I would actually call just to make sure everything is on the up and up.

I know it's normal to bleed when you get checked to see if you're dilated. It's probably normal
