ChristusG Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I hate to ask this but......did you bleed before going into labor? Not lots, but some? More than just streaked in the mucous plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Get thee to a hospital. Yes, some bleeding did happen, I mainly noticed it when I was induced w/Princess...but it can also be a sign of placental abruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yup, yup, time to go get things checked out. :grouphug: Update us when you get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I bled all day long when I was in early labor with my small girl. I had to wear a pad. My midwife said as long as I wasn't soaking pads, it was fine. It started about 9am and I finally went to the hospital at 7pm and was 5cm. I was also feeling contractions. Are you?

Trresh Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I agree with Imp. The following website says any vaginal bleeding in the third trimester should be reported to a health care professional immediately. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/placentalabruption.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's not worth taking a chance. Hope you're out the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks everyone. I think I'll call, just to be safe. I'm having contractions that hurt, but they are not regular. I was at 2 cm and 70% effaced on Tuesday when I had an OB appointment. I'm pretty crampy too. The blood is not bright red, but not dull pink either....somewhere in between. Sorry, TMI. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 What you describe doesn't sound alarming but worth of having it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing you a speedy labour and delivery, and a healthy, happy baby in your arms soon! :grouphug: Thanks for the prayers!!! I called the on call doc and wasn't too impressed by him. He wasn't my regular doctor....he was talking really slow and either sounded like he had just woken up or was drunk. :001_huh: He said he wasn't concerned with some bleeding, he was more concerned whether the baby was moving. Which, she is. He said it was probably my mucous plug, but I think I disagree with him because I've been losing that for like 2 weeks and this is a little different. I'll continue to monitor myself over the next few hours. If the bleeding picks up, I'll just take myself to the ER and bypass that guy. I wish I could have spoken with my own doctor.
