31 weeks, squeezing pains and dark bleeding - what could it be?

[~mamaspice~]

A good friend of mine is on her way to the hospital to get checked out. She has had what she describes as "squeezing" pains all day (which she dismissed as braxton hicks) but tonight when she went to the loo she's noticed shes started to bleed some dark red blood. Its not pouring out but she says it's a bit more than just spotting.

I hope bubs and her are okay.

Does anyone know what this could be? Her placenta is posterior and high so it's not a praevia problem. Could it be pre-term labour?

Hope your friend and bub are okay, must be scary. Does she have someone with her? Hope she's all right, Mara.
