What to do

Question

I just talked to the doctor on call and she said bleeding was normal but cramps were because i was dehydrated. Would you guys risk it and stay home or would you go to the hospital anyway?

Answer

When I have cramps its a constant ache. Contractions come and go. They can and should be timed! If you have to stop what you're doing and "catch your breath" then Its cause for thought into if its real labor. You're definitely getting close and it could be anytime now! Get those bags packed and load them up.. If nothing else you're prepared!! Good luck mama 😇😇

Answer

Take a warm bath, drink some water and see what happens. It may be the start of labor, or it may be prelabour. Could it have been a bloody show?

Answer

My OB said bleeding third trimester is concerning unless it's after a membrane sweep or cervical exam and to call right away. ...I'm surprised the bleeding was not concerning to the dr? Maybe go to the hospital just in case?

Answer

Especially when pregnant, I always go with 'better safe than sorry' . I would go to L&D for sure, and tell them you had some bleeding and are concerned and want to Make sure it's nothing serious. They can't turn you away, and they wouldn't want to. I wouldn't sit around waiting for something more to happen to decide to go. Better safe than sorry :) Good luck!

Answer

Is it possible your cramps are contractions? And my doctor said bleeding in the third trimester is normal but usually after sex. :/

Answer

How far along are you? 
Have you have sex in the last 24 hours?
How heavy is the bleeding?
