So yesterday I woke up from my afternoon nap with blood spots in my boxers. I thought I was mistaken, so I took a shower and continued my day. Last night I had Braxton hicks for about 5 hours and didn't fall asleep until 3am. When I woke up, everything was a-okay. My baby is kicking and everything. Then I went to the mall and while walking around I felt some strong cramps in my side and When I went to the bathroom, I noticed more light brown bleeding. What's going on? Does this mean labor is close? I haven't had a mucus plug though, so will it be a while before I see my baby?
Those are not Braxton Hicks Contractions. You are having those are REAL contractions! I didn't see my mucus plug come out but I went into labor at 12 a.m friday morning and ignored the signs... so you should either call your doctor or head to l&d for sure!
They can't be real contractions because they're so irregular. Like they stopped the morning after for a long while and they stopped after I went home from the mall
You are 40+5 and have light bleeding. You are concerned enough to ask what we think is going on, without any knowledge of your medical history, but not concerned enough to contact your doctor?
Re: 40+5 weeks. Light bleeding and cramps. Helppppp!!!!
