Hey everyone, I am 36 weeks pregnant. My
last appointment a week ago I was 2 cm
dialted and -2. My doctor told me that
my cervix was ripe.
Last night when I went to the bathroom
there was pinkish blood on the tissue and
a very small clot in the toliet. My
stomach was very hard and I felt very mild
cramping.
This morning I went to the bathroom and
when I wiped there was more blood but this
time it was more red.
Lately every time I wake up during the
night my stomach is rock hard but I
haven't had the cramping. I called my
doctor's office and she is out of town.
I have an appointment tomorrow at 4:15 and
the nurse told me to take it easy until
then....
Can anyone relate or give me some
advice...I am a little freaked out!
Thanks

Did you ask if there was another dr on
call. There is always one on call when my
dr is out of town.... If your worried I
would go the the hospital to just be on
the safe side..

I wouldn't mess around if I were bleeding
red blood, hon. If your doctor isn't in,
i'd head into the hospital anyway. Get
checked out and make sure everything is
okay. If it is, fine. If it's not, you
could be saving your baby's life. Good
luck and let us know how everything turns
out.

The person I spoke to at the office said
to take it easy and don't lift anything.
She said if the bleeding continues to call
immediately. It hasn't happened any
more.
It's funny how you think you're so ready
and then when it gets to the point where
it's close it's really scary!
Thank you guys, i'll keep you posted!

This sounds like it is your cervix
changing and your mucous plug coming out.
Sometimes when your cervix is dilating, it
can bleed a bit. The clotting stuff you
are seeing sounds mocous plug-gish. ;)
getting close! Get as much rest as you
can!

Hey guys. Went to the doctor today. I
have not dialted anymore. They said that
they don't worry about bleeding this late
in pregnancy if it is just when you wipe
(it's very common). She said it sounds
like I was trying to have a "show" and
that it sounds like I am trying to go into
labor. She said only to worry if I was
soaking a pad in ten minutes and then
reminded me how close and often
contractions have to be to go the
hospital.
Well my parents got a little excited and
don't want to miss a thing so they flew in
today! Now hopefully she doesn't wait
for three weeks to be born!
Thanks for all your advice and best
wishes.
Ps you know how all the info on pregnancy
says not to hesitate to call with
questions that no doctor would make you
feel shameful/stupid...Well the male
doctor on call last didn't help/ease
feelings..All he said was "i don't know
what your feeling" and if you're worried
go to the hospital...So much for that
theory!

Good luck with it all.
Delivery included if she decides to come
early!!

Well I am glad that everything is okay.
Just remember, if you ever have any
questions (and your doctor isn't much
help) then go to the hospital. The
hospital and the lamaze (who was a nurse
for over 20 years), said if you ever have
any worries go to the hospital to get
checked out. They totally support that.
Good luck in the next few weeks.
(ps. A lady I know was told a 3 weeks
before her due date that she was 2" too,
but she ended up giving birth the day
after her due date)
