40+5 and bleeding ...

[Pootle78]

Do I phone labour ward?

Blood is fresh, when I wipe, but is there every time there was a tiny tiny clot. I've just taken 2 paracetamol as am having strong period pains. THought my waters had gone in the night but it seems I'd just wet myself, oh the dignity of it all.

Hubby is currently on a train to London but don't want to call him back if false alarm

Any ideas?

I would phone as it doesn't sound right to me.

Might just be your plug, but if it seems like fresh blood I would definitely give them a ring first thing, just to be safe.

Also, put a pad in your pants in case they want a 'look', and also, if you are having slight leakage of your waters, they can test the pad to tell. I would mention the 'wettage' as well, as it could have been waters. Ah, it's all so beautiful!

Thanks, just called, they think I strained when I went to The toilet even though it's definitely coming from the front but I need to keep an eye on it. Have a feeling today may be a long day!

Thanks again for your quick replies

pootle I just spent a couple of days in hospital with bleeding and contractions at nearly 40 weeks, which turned out the be my "show".
It's very scary.
