Bleeding During Labour

[Early Kids]

Just curious if you bled during labour and if so at roughly what stage?

I bled during pushing, the midwives asked me to reach in and see if I could feel her head, but all I got was blood for a while there!

I never had any bleeding really until after they were born. With DD2 I had a PPH which was pretty horrific.

from about 7/8 cm dilated i was having a bloody show after each contraction pretty much.(i know this cos i was in the bath at the time) sometimes not so much,sometimes a fair bit. then my waters broke and i was pushing on the hospital bed. (i remember there being a fair bit of blood on the hospital bed)

Thanks

I had bleeding with DS1 about 9 hours (at around about 6cm) before giving birth, it wasn't a gush but definitely a trickle, and continued to bleed until birth. I didn't have any until after birth with DS2 and both times I had PPH.
