Pregnant after a Loss

Brown Spotting at 39 Weeks

I had some brown spotting when I went to the bathroom.  I had an internal check yesterday afternoon.

Just wondering if maybe that is it or a sign my MP is coming out?

Anyone else have this?

  • Not personally....but it could be related to your internal yesterday or I have had a friend who had "bloody show" which was similar to what your describing and she had her baby within 24hrs!!

  • My spotting from internals never lasted beyond the day I had the exam. It could be your MP, or it could be the start of the bloody show (e.g.: you could be in the very early stages of labor).

    Are you feeling crampy at all?

    The last 2 internals I have had I had brown spotting.  So my guess is it's from that.

  • I think it is part of the process of the MP coming out.  I had the same thing - spotting - and I never had a big "glob" (sorry!) come out like some ladies say.  Good luck!

    Yep!  I had an internal yesterday morning, and I spotted brownish/pinkish for the rest of the day (I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow).   The spotting stopped right before I went to bed last night, then started up again today, mid-morning.  I lost my mucus plug about 2 hours ago (it was gross....).

  • After an internal exam, I had brown spotting the day after.  My guess is that it's from the exam.
