A member asked:
Hi i'm 40+3d overdue. had my second membrane sweep on friday and now it's monday and i'm still discharging brown mucus, lots. normal? no contractions.

Yes, unfortunately: This is exactly why I am not a fan of "membrane sweeps". It is unnecessarily traumatic, arguably is an infection risk, and does very little to stimulate labor. On a side note, 42+ weeks is "overdue" and you are simply past your due date at present.
