Yesterday I had my membrane stripped, I looked it up and found out exactly what the process was, so no need in explaining that part. After the doctor did this she pulled out her fingers and they were bloody. She showed them to me and said it was normal to have some bleeding after that was done. I was just wondering if it is normal to bleed almost like you were on a very light period for a couple of hours afterward. I’ve stopped bleeding, the blood last night became very dark and stringy. The blood didn’t last too long, I don’t feel ill or anything. I know it wasn’t a muscus plug. The doctor told me it would increase my contractions, so as to “get things going.” This is my first pregnancy, I’m 40 weeks today. So yes I stopped bleeding yesterday, but ever since last night I’ve had a soreness in my lower abdomin. Almost as if I did a bunch of situps. But it’s only in my lower abdomin, I’m walking really funny. And yes, it did increase my b.h.contractions. No, I don’t think I’m in labor.
