*a bloody show is different then losing your mucus plug* so please don't tell me how long it took after loosing your mucus plug bc i know it can take months, weeks or days or day of. I'm more curious about how long it took from having bloody show till you gave birth. Feel free to mention the mucus plug if you know the difference:)

So yesterday all day I've been having a lot of creamy white discharge, and Braxton hicks. Normally my Braxton hicks is just tightening of the belly but yesterday for the first time I kept getting the screw driver effect and dull aches like period cramps with the BH. I didn't bother to call my Ob bc when I felt the screwdriver effect once before they said it was just the baby gringing on my cervix. On a lvl of 1 to 10 my pain was probably a 1 or 2. I have a high pain tolerance as well. Anyways it started of coming about an hour, then 20- 30 mins apart till would come about every 5 to 10 minutes all day. Lasted about a minute. So the next day (today) I Woke up a little pass 4am and went pee (the usual) and noticed blood when I wiped. I have not yet lost my mucus plug or had a cervix check in over 4 days. It startled me and I was very nervous bc I havent bled at all the entire pregnancy and I didn't know if something was wrong with me or my son. I have an anterior placenta so it was less concerning. I called my Ob and was told to go to the birthing center, when I got there it was 5am. She checked my cervix and said I have not dilated passed 1 centimeter but I was soft. (The last 3 weeks on my exams I've had a soft cervix as well). 

Because I live over 30mins from the hospital my bloody show became brown discharge. And I haven't had the aches and BH like I did the day before. I went to my moms house after and slept till 12pm and had very little brown discharge. Once 2pm rolled around I used the bathroom and noticed blood in the toilet and on the paper I had started bleeding again with the fresh blood and old blood.

 So I called my Ob again and she said if it doesn't remain the same consistently or go away then to be concerned and call back...

Long story short is I've been having a bloody show all day long. This is a picture of this morning... I'm also 37 weeks and 2 days
