Nervous FTM issue

GaryJennisa

Hi ladies,

FTM here getting increasingly nervous as the end of my pregnancy nears. I am currently 37 weeks, 5 days along. I went to the doctor this past Tuesday and she told me I am 3 cm dilated, baby has dropped, and my fundal measurement is at 41 weeks. I mentioned that I had been spotting over the last weekend, and she said that was expected. Today, however, I went to the bathroom and I have one huge spot. It's not bright red, more of a brownish, old-blood looking color. Should I be concerned that the amount has increased even though the color is still not bright red?

TIA for any insight you can offer.

I'm not sure what "huge" means.  But brown suggests old blood which in my understand would be MP  or typical spotting...its only been 2 days since your internal so it could be related to that...I wouldn't let yourself panic but I would call if nothing esle to put your mind at ease.

Normal,it can happen with your cervix changing. As pp said, I was told to call if it was bright red.
