please answer??

So about this pregnancy before my question.  I'm high risk due to GD,  nst twice a week a ultrasounds twice a week. Currently 36 weeks pregnant with our third.  Getting induced at 39 weeks.

Last new days baby girl hasn't been moving Very much.  Just thought ahh less room = less movement,  also crotch lighting the past 2 months, period cramps the last month,  and just confirmed yesterday my discharge is actually my mucas plug, and I'm 2 cm. Been there, done that Lol.

Now today, I failed my net so they did a ultrasound,  but I passed that. Good to go. Now. All this afternoon,  I've had this squeezing feeling across my belly, my whole belly, Its not the baby stretching,  it's like I'm getting a tummy tuck Lol. Been happening see since 6 pm, it's almost midnight now. Then I go to the bathroom,  no Dr discharge today but on my pad, there is a tiny spot of red. As if I poked the pad with a red pen. I wiped,nothing.  

Any suggestions?

Yea I agree sounds like Braxton Hicks to me. I had them more and more and stronger and stronger closer to my due date. They felt like squeezeing to me too.

The tummy tuck feeling your getting could be Braxton Hicks. I had that feeling a couple weeks ago, my stomach would tighten up to the point where it was hard then a few minutes later it would go back to normal. The spot of blood can be normal too because you are dilating, as long as its just that and not like an actual "menstrual" amount I wouldn't worry. If you are really concerned about it, give your physician a call.
