Might be your mucous plug?  It also could just be irritation from the attempted sweep.  My understanding is that it can cause a bit of bleeding.

Not unreasonable if you desperately don't want it, but I don't think they're that big of a deal.  There's a lot more discomfort going on than the hep-lock in the heat of labour!  I'm having one, because I tend to bleed a lot...

Frustrated with my baby sister today.  She just doesn't get it.  Yes, I'm insensitive and hormonal.  Stupid comments are going to make me batty, deal with it.  Like, is it REALLY necessary to keep saying things like...

Hah I actually have to go into work today for a lovely "pizza lunch" to meet the new director of our department.  So I'm REALLY looking forward to all the stupid comments I would typically get there.   "Wow are you sure...
