I noticed when I went to flush the loo that there was bright red/pink blood on the tissue in the toilet bowl...
I called the maternity unit and they said it is probably a 'show' and is normal at this stage.
Of course first thing I do is google it, but it seems like this type of bleeding is usually a mucus like texture when your mucus plug comes away? This was totally fresh watery blood I had and it wasn't mucus like at all. She said as baby moving normally and I don't think my waters have gone, it seems pretty normal at this stage. She advised me to put a pad on and call back in an hour or 2.
I've had a few lightning pains and tight feelings every now and again which are worse when standing or walking around but I assumed this was baby's head engaging or general baby movements.
Does anyone have any advice? Does this sound like a show or should I be going to hospital to get checked?
(I've had a very uncomplicated pregnancy so far, no issues, have a high posterior placenta)
