Hey, I’m 39weeks and 5 days today. On Friday morning (it’s not Sunday morning) I lost some mucus plug with no blood and started getting period type pains in my stomach and back. I then had a sweep at my midwife appointment and my midwife said my cervix was ‘favourable’ like elastic and 3cms dilated! She could also feel babies head and said he was very low! Immediately after the sweep I bleed red blood (which she said was normal cervix irritation basically. It then turned to on and off light brown spotting (like the end of a period). I’ve been wearing a panty liner and there’s nothing on that just when I wipe. I’ve been getting very irregular contractions since Friday morning.
At 12:30am this morning I lost my bloody show. This is the major TMI part … it was a lot! Mucus was literally hanging out of me and I lost about a table spoon in one go which was snot like with some red streaks but mostly brown. I called triage as I was worried about the amount and they are not concerned about colour or amount. Since the I’ve had more intense but still irregular contractions (some coming every 5 minutes for an hour and then they drop off and come back!). However, I’m worried because it’s not 10am so 10 hours after my first bloody show and I’m still losing mucus with blood in it every time I wipe 😳 I’ve called triage again and they are still not concerned as it’s mucus and not free flowing blood. I’ve probably lost about 2 table spoons now in total! Still nothing on my panty liner just when I wipe! Any one else get this much mucus plug/bloody show? I hate seeing blood so much it’s so scary but no one else seems concerned! I feel like I’m constantly worried about placenta issues ☹️ Just waiting for contractions to get more intense and more consistent 🤞🤞
