Brown discharge: This is a common occurrence after your membranes have been stripped. It is caused by the release of old blood that was trapped between the amniotic sac and the uterine wall.

Mucus plug: This is a thick plug of mucus that blocks the cervix during pregnancy. It can start to come out in pieces as the cervix begins to thin and dilate in preparation for labor.

Period-like cramping: This is also a common occurrence after your membranes have been stripped. It is caused by the increased activity of the uterus as it begins to prepare for labor.
