discharge.

So this might be kind of gross but I went to the bathroom and wiped and had some snot looking discharge with a tiny little bit of blood in it that I almost didn't see. I'm only 33 weeks. Should I be worried or should I just relax?

It's more than normal for blood to be in your mucus plug when pregnant, that's why it's referred to as the bloody show. Also it's normal to have blood in your discharge after sex, and a  cervical exam. The way you described it sounds definitely like your mucus plug. I'm pregnant with my 5th baby, in this pregnancy and previous pregnancies I've had spotting. I've called my obgyn everytime this has happened. From What I've described they've never had me go in to get checked. I've been told as long as I'm not filling up a pad, and the bleeding isn't constant that it's fine. If you are worried, its always best to give your obgyn a call.

As previous poster said, it's your mucus plug. It can be lost and regenerated multiple times throughout pregnancy.

Just relax lol I'm pretty sure that's your mucus  plug. "The bloody show". It doesn't mean you're in labor right now or that you will be soon. You're far enough in pregnancy to where a lot of women loose their plug. I lost mine at 28 weeks.
