I am having the same problem but not the blood but a thick mucus.Went to doctor on Tuesday and was checked.Cervix is softened,whatever that means lol and I have such a horrible pain that shoots down my private area and this horrible back ache and cramps.Last night I had what I thought was a real painful contraction and woke up to nothing but the back ache,pain in private (with like a numbness and flutterin feeling).????????????
