I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant. I lost my mucus plug in my 36th week. I went to the Dr. yesterday and I was 3 cm 60%. He also stripped my membranes. I didn't spot or bleed all day yesterday or even throughout the night. At 8 this morning I went to the bathroom and noticed a nickel size brown/red clot in the toilet. I went on a nd fixed breakfast. 20 minutes later I went to check again and my pantyliner was filled with brown discharge and tiny pink clots. Does this mean labor is starting or will start soon? Should I call the Doc just to let them know? What do I do now? I really don't think the "blood" was from my exam b/c it's been 16 hours before this show.

Call your dr immediately! Your labor is obviously progressing and you may be moving from the latent phase to the active phase. I didn't have any bloody show until I was 6 cm and already in the hospital, it's definitely not the sign you should be waiting for. You didn't mention, but if you are having contractions then it's all the more reason to give your dr a call.

you are beginning labor... they will tell you to take a shower first before going in.... this will help you to get some contractions going. Call them, take a shower, they may say to come in when you have contractions, I have a feeling they will be strong within an hour. (my first pg was like that... I didnt feel anything that would say "your in labor" but i noticed the blood.) good luck! -

This sounds like merconium (spelling is wrong) YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY and ask about this!
