I am 40+1 weeks today and my ob did another stretch and sweep I was 3cm and 75% effaced before the sweep. I know bleeding is normal but I’ve passed 2 clots now the first maybe smaller then a dime and the second was maybe smaller then a nickel or the size of. Should I call L&D?

I was able to feel the contractions a few days after my membrane sweep. If you feel cramping I would go in and get checked.

I’ve labored 4 children naturally 2 decided they wanted to be late.sweeping the membrane does cause a little blood.always call your o.b.at this stage with any concerns but you are on the home stretch.youll know when your labor starts.since your asking I don’t think your quite there but close.
