I don't remember seeing a bloody show. I don't even know if my OB stripped my membranes (ugh. sounds so gross).
It's almost game time!!!!!!!!

Almost there! Hang in there! As @winniebee: said, if it was a placenta abruption, I would imagine lots more blood and more frequent discharge.

It sounds like it could be part of your mucous plug/cervical exam... It doesn't sound like placental abruption, which like winniebee said, would be much more than just discharge and would probably be bright red blood too.

You're getting closer to delivering! Hang in there!!

I didn't have a bloody show and I got my membranes stripped. I think at this part of the pregnancy... as long as it's not increasing in blood you are fine. Many times blood can be part of the mucous plug too.

my doctor stripped my membranes yesterday and told me that it is possible to have more bloody mucus. so it sounds like it's from the exam.

@regberadaisy: This continues to sound *very* similar to the beginning of my labor. Sounds like you lost your mucous plug, and you're experiencing the "bloody show". I was also extremely worried that it wasn't normal, b/c nobody told me you could bleed so much during labor... especially during early labor! I'm not a medical professional though, so if you're concerned about the amount of blood, then you should definitely call your doctor. I ended up at the OB's office once and at the hospital once before giving birth b/c I was concerned about the amount of blood that I was losing. Of course, they told me each time that it was fine, and it was just bloody show.

Are you having any contractions? Good luck!!

Sounds like you're making progress and your cervix is opening up! But definitely still call with any concerns! That's what your OB is there for! Good luck!!!
