okay mommas ur thoughts! I am 40 wks today. scheduled c-section tomorrow. i just got up to go pee and possibly the other as well because I was cramping. well I went to wipe after peeing and straining a little to poop nothing. . I saw a little blood toilet paper. I also saw a little blood in the toliet and it was bright red. at my last Dr visit I hadn't moved from being dialated from a 1 and I haven't really been having many cramps. now I am having has like cramps. I am a little nervous because i was told my baby could be anywhere from 9 lbs to 11 lbs. I'm not so sure i want to try a natural birth with that big of a baby. advise on what to do since I've had a little bright red blood? this is my 2nd child but I never had this with my first. not seeking medical advise just asking what this was.
Best thing you can do, just in case. I had to keep moving my two, just in case my water broke that night because I was contracting. Lol. See but I lost that plus, brighter red blood for about two weeks with this little girl. With my oldest middle, I seen this and went into labor during the day. My youngest middle I spotted for a day, and went into labor the next day. So it never hurts to be prepared, because this maybe your bloody show. Did you have this with your other child?
it scared me earlier when I saw the blood the first time, then I was able to relax and go to sleep. to only be awoken by my son wanting in our bed. then I went again and this photo. I'm fixed to go take a shower so I can be ready I guess
I would call L and D. Honestly with my second and third, that was the show for me. But with my fourth, I had period like blood. That made make a B line to the hospital it scared me so bad.
is this the show? should i wake the hubby or just call l&d? @armyvet_mom_of_four ,@bridgete ,@christimary0
Please don't make the same mistake I did, I was on a 45 minute drive with 4-3 minute contractions. Only opinions I had was natural labor, because in the first out I went from 6cm to 8cm. Just don't make my mistake. 😊
I ask was it like, because labor I ALOT of blood, and it was the "bloody show". I have never had that much blood with any child, so it scared me. I got to the hospital, and two hours later I was pushing out a 9lb 7oz baby naturally.
@christimary0, I've thought about it but was thinking about holding off until I went to potty again or the cramps got more intense.
I would honestly get headed there as soon as you can. Because it sounds to me like labor is starting. 😬 and an hour and 15 minute drive is long. But if you're afraid it's going to be a waste (which I understand) then call labor and delivery first and ask a nurse what they think because they see this stuff every day.
@bridgete, @armyvet_mom_of_four ,@christimary0 , I'm a little nervous if labor because he's so big. not sure what you mwan period blood. it was bright red and just a smidge on my toilet paper and like a big drop in the toliet. as far as going to l&d it's an hour and 15 minutes away so not that easy to just go. I am however having period like cramps off and on but nothing's hurting in the front
You might want to go into labor and delivery just to make sure 😬 I've heard people can sometimes bleed at the beginning of labor.
Yes! I wanted to vbac but he said baby needs to be smaller so if I go into labor I'm not sure what will happen :-/ c-section first thing in the am @armyvet_mom_of_four
