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.

Just please go to the hospital and when you get home let us know what is going on please

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!

I don't think I like your doctor very much he/she seems like a bit of an problem.

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)
