26 Weeks and Small Clot?

I'm 26 weeks with twins. It's 3:30 a.m. and I'm trying to not panic. About once a week for a few weeks now I seem to have 1 day where I'll have pink when I wipe, maybe tiny flecks of red. Each time I've had an ultrasound around the time and they'll assure me my cervix looks great, high and tight. About 20 minutes ago I had some pink and when I wiped again I had a small red clot/streak. I really don't want to go to the hospital (not my idea of a good time to drag my husband and 3 year old there in the middle of the night), but I'm stressing. Anyone experienced this? I even took it fairly easy today (we move internationally in a couple weeks)!

Re: 26 Weeks and Small Clot?

  • I can only give you my experience and it was when I started bleeding and passing clots that I was experiencing labor. The blood could be the start of your mucus plug. It could be nothing because some women bleed/spot their entire pregnancy. What does your OB say about it?

    Could you go to the hospital by yourself? The day that I went into labor and had my twins, I drove myself to the hospital (gushing blood and all) because there wasn't anyway I was waking up and dragging a 4 year old to the hospital at 4am.

  • I haven't spoken to my OB about it because it literally happens once, then everytime I use the restroom after it's normal as can be. I'm military, moving overseas in a couple weeks, so will be talking to them about it my last appointment with this OB group later this week.

    I don't think I've had any contractions or anything, so I'm trying not to worry. But I also want to avoid preterm labor.
  • If it were me, I would call the office in the morning and let them know. Things can change pretty quick.
  • I've been admitted at the hospital while they try and determine if I'm in preterm labor. Nothing major. Was dilated a fingertip, then went to 1 cm and 10% effacement. Itty bitty contractions that are barely registering on the monitors. *sigh*
  • Best wishes. I hope they are able to stop the contractions.
