Am i in labor???

I kno this is tmi, but i need help... i went to the bathroom earlier and as i wiped i notice blood, it wasnt just for that one time i wiped six times and then it stopped. Later on bout an hour or two i decided to take a warm bath and just soak, but as i used the bathroom again, i noticed small clots of blood and it stopped again. Is this my mucus plug or am i in labor. Im 36 +1 weeks pregnant.

Definitely let your doctor know, they still might want you to be seen in case you've dilated. This happened to me at 26 weeks, and I'm now 30 weeks and 2 days and have been in the hospital since I came in with what you're talking about, but also had tons of contractions, dilated, and had an extremely rare short cervix. Preterm labor. Just alert them so they can monitor.

I would still call l & d just to ask.  Tmi but my mucus plug was literally like a booger no blood.  I didnt even bleed until after the dr broke my water.  It is probably nothing but couldn't hurt to ask a nurse.

Sounds like it might have been your plug. Mine didn't have much blood with my first, but that could be it. But it's not labor until regular contractions start.
