Dark red blood?? Help!!!

[Ccarter313]

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I just had some dark red blood. It was enough to leek through my painties and shorts... Is this normal at the end or should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this if so what does it mean.

Just head to labor and delivery. This happened to me with my first pregnancy and i headed right in since im RH negative but when i got there they said i was having baby and i had her that day

I would call l&d and see what they say. When I was exactly 39wks I started bleeding like I was having a period, l&d told me it was normal and it was a early sign of labor and 4 days later I had my son. But bleeding can be alot of things.

Definitely get checked then, that doesn't sound like bloody show to me, and it can be many harmless things, but better safe than sorry!

I lost my mucas plug about 1.5 weeks ago and like 5 days later I had pink spoting with contractions... Witch wa just my cervix displaying says my OB but now it's a dark red enough to fill a pantie liner

Bloody show usually comes after a mucus plug has come out, if you have no other signs of labor I wouldn't assume it's bloody show. I would see l&d, definitely It can be many things, but dark red blood in the last trimester isn't normal, and definitely needs to be seen, My bloody show was just a pinkish. Good luck!

Sounds like it could be the bloody show. If i were you i'd head to labor & delivery just to make sure all is safe.
