Is this the start of a 'bloody show'

[mum2b1xx]

Hi I'm 41 weeks and first time mum
I no it isn't a lot but I just want some reassurance as obviously blood can be worrying I read online a bloody show shouldn't be fresh blood however this looks quite red to me I know it isn't a lot but it is every time I wipe
I've got bad cramps & back ache x

Considering how far along you are, combined with the cramps and blood, I'd say it's time to call your midwife or hospital just to let them know what is happening and then they can advise. Good luck! X

That's how my labour started. Good luck!

Thank you all spoke to midwife she said to go in better to be safe than sorry as I started questioning everything baby movement I think I just panicked pregnancy been so straight forward and I've been so lucky but I was worried she said it's the show
I also had a big gush of fluid I have a scan booked in for tomorrow to tell if it was waters if baby hasn't come
I've got strong braxton hicks though so I'm really hoping it is the start xx
