Is spotting, late in a pregnancy, a sign of labor?

Answer 1

Bloody show, or loss of the mucus plug, generally preceeds labor by up to 72 hours. But not all women lose--or notice losing--their mucus plug.

Answer 2

If you notice any bright red discharge call your health care provider immediately! Pinkish spotting (bloody show) is normal after 37 weeks, particularly after you have had a vaginal exam, have had sex, or are in early labor. Call your health care provider if you experience any bleeding that occurs before 37 weeks. This is not normal.

Answer 3

yes it can be you should contact your doctor!!
