Been to the loo thus morning and wiped - got some discharge with a tiny dark clot. Just been again and slightly blood streaked discharge (like a sneeze).

I'm 36+4 is this the start of a show or am I being too presumptuous????

Thank you!

Probably but in the nicest possible way don't get your hopes up......! I lost little bits of mucus and specs of brown blood for weeks last time and it is starting again now at 35 weeks.

I had my DD at 40+3.

Yes, sound like show but as P&C said above, that can go on for a while. But on both occasions I didn't have a show until right before I went into labour, so you never know...

Thanks guys! I'm not getting my hopes up, just wondering if I need to do anything or tell anyone (midwife), as I am at work atm, and have things to do this evening.

Happy to go to the hospital, just dont want to make a wasted trip.

I didn't / haven't this time because I'm not worried by it.

If you are worried / you are bleeding then no harm giving the hospital a call for reassurance. Maybe put a pad on just so it is easy to check what you are loosing?

FWIW I hope you don't have much longer to wait or me

I'm happy to wait the full 4 weeks until my DD!

I'm not worried by it, but I might give the MW a call, as they told me off last time I didnt report a tiny bit of blood loss!

Ok, so I'm not a nurse/doctor but I didnt think there was a problem and there wasnt!
