Brown discharge and cramping after membrane sweep
Had a membrane sweep yesterday - very quick and easy. I’ve since had nearly 24 hours of brown discharge, and some intense cramping. Does anyone know if this is guaranteed or highly likely to lead to labour? 41 week FTM.

I've had 3 and he's still comfy in there 😬
They have a 25% chance of triggering labour within 48 hours but they won’t work if your body and your baby isn’t ready
I'm also 41 weeks today and just had my first sweep ... Bit of mild cramping and a little bit of bloody mucous this evening now too. So I'm wondering the same as you now, hoping it works so I don't have to be induced!
Thank you all very much. I have indeed gone into labour early hours this morning. Feeling good and positive but jumped right to contractions 12 mins apart so something’s worked!
Good luck!!

Don't think it's guaranteed or highly likely necessarily (but could be!) as it totally depends on the individual, not many sweeps are successful, only if you're nearly in labour already, but at 41 weeks you should be in labour soon either way! Good luck xx
