Second time mom- 29 weeks 2 days pregnant.

2 nights ago I lost A LOT of my mucus plug. I know you can lose it and it will regenerate. But after I lost it I started to have very intense Braxton Hicks. I had a warm bath and they started to slow down. So I went to bed and tried not to think about it. The following morning (yesterday) I noticed I lost more of my mucus plug and was very lightly bleeding, red not pink or brown. Every time I wiped it would fill a paper but I was not bleeding like a period. This was concerning to me so I went into get checked.

The nurses and doctors were very vague on what was going on but my cervix was long, hard and closed. They gave me 2 shots of steroids but I was not told why. If someone could explain that to me I would appreciate it.

So today I went in to get an ultrasound so check my placenta to rule out placenta previa as a cause for the bleeding. But my placenta is very far from my cervix. No answers there.

Anyways I also noticed my belly was looking a little different and was wondering if anyone else sees it. Did I drop or maybe he’s just in a different position?

The first top and bottom was taken at 25 weeks. The second 2 was taken tonight at 29 weeks and 2 days.
