Bleeding???? TMI Pic Update

Question

Uhhhh sooo I woke up this morning and when I wiped there is definite blood. What do I do???? I had had mucus for a few days that was old brown in color but this definitely red. 41 Weeks Today
Would I count this as bleeding like a period?

Answer

I had the same exact thing about a week ago and FREAKED out! I called L&D, my OB, and my doulas and since it was just when I wiped and did not fill a pad/continue they said it was likely just cervical changes. It went away after about a day and was never as much as that first wipe (I seriously have a pic that looks exactly like this). That was right before I hit 39 weeks and for me I did a ton that day (exercise, up and moving, cooking dinner, etc). Since my husband was still in quarantine I then took it very easy and just relaxed as best I could and it went away.
I would def call a doctor or L&D though and get their advice since you are further along. Also make sure kick counts and movement are still good (that was a big reason why I didn’t go in). Good luck and know you’re not alone, it’s likely just your cervix changing, and you should continue to monitor it.
