Thanks Fletch,
Yeah spoke to midwife and she said as the blood was not mucous like at all it was most likely just a small tear. She recommended giving epi-no a rest for a couple of days and then start again more gradually.

I guess I was just a bit eager to get things happening. But it kinda defeats the purpose if I end up tearing tissue before hand so I am going to take it a bit easier with it now.

Very excited as I am approaching the birth - even though cautious I can't wait!

Cheers - Renaee.
