Due today - dark brown discharge??

Sorry for the grossness! But iv been having quite loose bowels today (could be the pint of fresh orange iv downed this morning) but every time iv cleaned up iv been getting quite a bit of dark brown discharge plus some mucousy plug (yay) do u think the brown discharge is old blood from my stretch and sweep? And it's coming away because of the plug?

Sorry loads of yuck stuff, but I'm quite excited by it! As long as the brown blood isn't cause for concern.

Any ideas? Experience? Advise?

Both loose bowels and the brown discharge sound like things are getting started.
Call hospital if concerned but I'd be surprised if your labour doesn't start soon.
Rest, eat and drink.
