Could this be a show?

Hello all
I am 37 weeks today and have been having mild contraction all week.
On tuesday night I had constant slight contractions all night and then had some bleeding. It was not bright red fresh blood but mixed with my discharge (sorry tmi) there was no mucus but I have been loosing mucus now for well over a week in small bits.

As I have had on & off bleeding through out my preganancy the docs told me it was just my cervix again kept me in to monitor the contraction and then let me go home the following morning and told me its nothing to worry about.

I am now wondering if this could have been my show (but being masked by my condition I have with my cervix) as I have had slight contractions on and of all week and today non stop and last night they were really intense and comming every 10min and lasting 30-40 secs but stopped after 4 hours. what do you think - any advice or input would be so grateful as I am climbing up the walls at the moment.

As I am having a c-sec in 2 weeks time when should I be calling the hospital. This is just so annoying....

Hi,

This sounds a bit like what happened to me. I was havinbg a C section, but in the end my last child (of 3) came early!
You do get strong "test" braxton hicks in the last week, but my advice would be talk to your midwife. If you are worried its better to be checked out than suffer, worry or be wrong!
It does sound like a show...mine was not fresh looking blood...and the mucus thing, that sounds exactally right!

Good luck you!!!

Fiona
