Could it be a show? 29 weeks

[Mam95]

I’m 29 weeks + 4, we have had 3 very early miscarriages before getting this far with our 4th try and had my son 4 weeks early in a successful previous pregnancy. Yesterday morning I wiped and found blood mucus, I should add iv been having a heavy white/yellow mucus for a few weeks now and it’s got heavier but never caused me concern when speaking to others about it, but then yesterday morning it was accompanied with blood so phoned the numbers in my folder and was eventually sent to the midwifes who I explained it was a bloody mucus and she gave me a swob to swob for thrush but nothing more than that. I then later continued to get the same so phoned again and they said not to worry unless it was more blood than mucus, keeping in mind they havnt seen anything they’ve just gave me a swob to do myself and sent us on our way and only have an explanation from me of what it looks like. To me this is a cause for concern as it’s happened for 24 hours now, more often than not mucus with blood each time iv went to the toilet. Am I just being worried for nothing or could this be a sign of a show, everywhere iv looked seems to lead me to think the mucus iv had for weeks is my plug and this could possibly be a show and I’m panicking thinking well why arnt they more concerned it’s not the best timing to chance going into labour im due the 3rd of January and with thoughts on how early I was with my first child I didn’t book my maternity till the 1st of December so still very active in work. The baby’s heartbeat was still strong when they listened and he is still active, most active baby iv known in a pregnancy haha but with all the information iv read I don’t understand why I havnt been seen to be more serious and even have a look inside to see if it could be more serious than a swab for high up thrush and let me get on with it with no clarity? I do get sudden pains very infrequently but without the blood wouldn’t concern me but with this slight bleed and mucus it is making me concerned? Don’t want to keep pestering people if I am just being silly but also don’t want to risk the chances with my babies health or mine if it is more serious.

I would go in to the DAU with your history.
So nobody took a look at you, , they just gave you a swab to do yourself ?
How far are you from the hospital ? As in your position I would simply pitch up at the DAU.

Just a swab for me to do for high up thrush saying it’s most likely that because if it’s high up I wouldn’t get any other signs. It seems a bit baffling to me after my history why they didn’t even think to check me over incase I’m leaking fluid or if anything is a sign up there of anything at all, which I don’t think I am leaking fluid but why wouldn’t they want to rule anything out? Both me and my partner were shocked how little was said and done about it but with the baby still moving around that did calm us a lot but with this bleeding still coming and going i feel it’s more concerning as iv read any bleeding after 28 weeks is a serious thing? We’re not far from our local hospital but do prefer to go to a one a bit more further as there more linked up to everything than ours but did go local yesterday and feel like we regret that decision with the outcome we got but again don’t want to keep going to be set away if it is nothing as they made it seem. I think for peace of mind I will go to the one a bit further for a second opinion and hopefully it is nothing but maybe get more done to make us feel more at ease than a swab and wait for results for thrush.

I had some.of that at 32 weeks it turns out my cervix was bruised

Go back
Because of your history you are at risk of delivering earlier.
Ask for a scan of your cervix to check whether it is thinning or shortening.
If you are at risk you can have steroids to help baby mature their lungs.

Yes, go to the hospital you feel happiest with, and ask to be seen at the Day Assessment Unit. I am shocked that with your history, they didn’t do more checks. Fingers crossed all is well for you OP.
