Bloody Show?

I had some bright red spotting this morning, doctor's office said sounds like the bloody show(but to call if I bleed more, which I haven't) and to keep an eye out for contractions...yikes!

Re: Bloody Show?

  • I had my first exam on Wed. Made me lose MP and there was some blood but it quickly went away. Hope all is okay!

  • This is not meant to freak you out, but my OB has always said that bloody show should be brown/pink tinged. The only time I called with bright red spotting (38w4d), I was told to come in immediately. I was induced that day. Bright red spotting could be a sign of placental abruption. It is one thing to spot after an exam and then to spot bright red for no reason. I would get a second opinion! But this is just me, knowing what happened with my own situation. Good luck! :-)

  • I had the same thing happen yesterday, I had an internal exam at 2pm and by 6pm I had a bright red toilet and contacted my dr. I was told to go to L&D and was kept overnight for observation. I was and still am 3cm dilated but since the contractions lessened and no water breaking or further dialation I was sent home. You should definately contact your doctor. They were happy I came in as bright red spotting can be triggered by several things. I had hoped it was the beginning of labor but guess LO isn't ready yet. Oh well, another day.
