I had a sweep yesterday (38+1wks due to ds being +16 days, induced then emcs) so, mw said she could get two fingers into cervix but that babies head had not engaged yet and to expect show/ bit of blood.
So this morning I have had a small (about 1p piece sized) bloody show but with dark blood.

Firstly I was n't expecting old/ dark blood but fresh/ pink??
Secondly, does it not mean quite so much (ie impending labour) as it was simply a result of sweep or is it just as significant?

Sorry, very garbled!
Any knowledge would be great Smile

My show had dark blood in it, it looked like liver. It was bigger than a 1p though (about enough to fill a wee sample pot) so maybe you have passed some of your show but the rest is still there.

watches with interest

I had a sweep yesterday and lost a lot more blood that I expected, freaked, checked with DR Google and it seemed normal. (she told me spotting this was more than spotting)

Had a bit more since but no other signs of labour yet....

My show was like snot with brownish blood in it, and there was a lot of it! I'd say you have more to come.
