Newbie to this app....
Im a mom to 3 beautiful crazies 9,5,2 and currently 37 weeks with #4.
I saw my OB yesterday and have been stuck dialated at 1 for 2 weeks. He stripped my membranes at around 2pm yesterday because im not gonna lie, i am MISERABLE!
Anywho, at around 11am i had a pretty big contraction then around 11:15 i went to the restroom and when i wiped, it was bright pink and quite a bit of discharge. This obviously isnt my first rodeo, nor the first pregnancy to be stripped, but, ive never experienced this blood tint to my dishcharge. (Sorry tmi).
Its been followed by menstrual type cramping along with lower back pain all day. Is this labor, or from the exam/stripping?
You sound just like me. The blood is from being stripped, the same exact thing happened to me at 37 weeks, I got stripped 3 more times and I still ended up being induced. The pains you having are cramps from being stripped.
