Just have a quickish question! I am 35 weeks with my 2nd (so you'd think I would have half a clue ) and yesterday had a teeny tiny bit of bleeding. It wasn't even a 5c piece worth but it was still there... was darker in colour but when I wiped when I went to the loo there was a small bright red bit of blood (now I'm talking tiny here). The past few days I have had lower back pain which bites in a little and the other night it happened for over an hour. I have been getting horrible shooting pains today around my hips which radiates through to my back. They only last for 2-3 seconds and then go away. There is no pattern to them but they stop me in my tracks when they happen. I'm getting at least 10 of these an hour. I have been resting for the better part of the day and really have done nothing strenuous. No DTD has happened in this house either for the past week either.
Im no expert but i would say that it sounds like your cervix is softening up and starting to dilate
Bubs could be moving down to cause the pain your having, if your concerned at all though it doesnt hurt to have it all checked.
Are you sure the bleeding came from your vagina and not haemorroids? The shooting pain in your hips could be bubba getting comfy and starting to descend. The joy of end of pregnancy. Or they could be pre-labour. Our bodies do weird and wonderful things that definitely keep us guessing.
Dan- I'm not scared of looking. Would rather look myself and see if I can see what is happening rather than a stranger!
It's all too hard trying to figure out what is going on It's still happening but no more bleeding. Maybe I'll take some panadol and see how I go and if it settles down.
Pre labour??
