Pregnancy Forum - to Tazzy Or Whoever Might Know.

Ok, I woke up this morning with lower back pain, mild cramping(not too painful) and I went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and I had some bloody dis-charge in my panties!! It wasn't a lot but like a very very light spotting period! I think and im pretty sure I lost my mucus plug almost 2-week's ago..I think...Don't really know for sure:( should I call the doctor? She did say yesterday I could go at any second, but I don't want to get too carried away or worried if it's nothing. Please help, im curious as to what to do??

Sounds like early labor. The same thing happened to me with my last baby. I labored at home for about 18 hours. Then I went to the hospital and had her 4 hours later. No need yo call your doc until your water breaks or contractions are coming strong and regularly.

me I would call. You said that you where dialated 4 cm and 70 faced correct. I would call and let her know about the bloody show she might want you to come in and get checked to make sure you havent dialated anymore. Good luck hun but signs of complete labor are right around the corner

Yeah..Yesterday I was 4cm and effaced 70%...Thats what's got me worrying...I just don't want to get to the hospital to late or not have time for an epidural, I would die!! So far everytime I go to the bathroom I am still having the blood and it's getting a little bit heavier each time. I think I will go ahead and call just incase. Thank's guy's:)

Yeah def. If I knew you were 4 cm dialated yesterday I would have said the same as tanya. I like to stay at home as long as possible, but after laboring for 18 hours I was only 4 cm when I got to the hospital. I think you're going to go quick since you have dialated to probably 5 cm or more with little pain.

Thanks guy's! I was worried that maybe the blood was after my exam yesterday but I don't think it would be this much. I did some reading in my book's and it said that a vaginal exam can cause bleeding but it also says when you are in active labor you will have the "show". I will keep you guy's posted! Thank you again for responding so quick!!! Wish me luck:)

Yep..I am so glad I left when I did!! Everyone was right. I thought it was a false alarm but I was soooo wrong!!! I am glad I listened to all the posters or I would have had him here. And there was a snow storm here the night I had him so if I would have waited I would have been stuck!!Lol...Thank you for bumping that, wow..I can't believe the pregnancy is over and I am looking at my lil boy:) :)
