Some old bleeding after a fresh bleed is to be expected, however I would still be getting checked until there is no more blood. It's been a few days since you were last checked and it won't hurt to speak to a midwife, even if you can't get an appointment with your OB.
Thanks guys, OB appointment is on Tuesday morning first thing.
He told me to call if i am worried or any fresh bleeding.
I know that bubs is fine, its moving and wriggling around as normal and the CTG's have been perfect, i just hate the fact that at 34 weeks last time round i just plodded along, now i feel like its the first 10 weeks all over again where i am constantly checking when i go to the toilet.
I really enjoy pregnancy and this has sort of taken all the fun and excitement of the last few weeks
I wouldn't wait until Tuesday hon. See if you can see your OB this afternoon. It probably is just old blood but I know I would be worrying until my OB could reassure me all was ok.
Chances are, it's nothing to worry about (if you're positive it's old blood) - but better to be safe than sorry... if you can't get into your OB or GP, is there anywhere near you that you can see a midwife and have the CTG over the weekend?
Do you have placenta praevia? (Sorry for the ignorance ) - I had PP and had my first big bleed at 32 weeks... huge huge loss, and was taken to hospital, they transferred me to another one that was equipped to handle a 32 week baby as they thought I'd be delivering. Lucky for us, I stopped, but the old blood was there (even if it was just a teeny bit) for about 4 days. I was kept in for bedrest and monitoring for 2 weeks. Went home for 5 days and then had another big bleed - rushed to hospital again, it stopped overnight again, but old blood for about 3 days. They kept me for a week on bedrest and then I delivered at 36 weeks.
I think the best thing is to really watch it - you should know if it's old or new blood Try not to stress too much about gestation... every day is a huge milestone above the last - my bub was born at 36 weeks and he had no issues at all (with being prem).
Just keep a good eye on it - and if there's any way you can do a CTG or get hold of a doppler over the weekend, it might be worth doing
