How long did you pass bloody show and feel tons of pressure before actually going into labor?

I am 39 weeks and like 2 days and at the doctor yesterday he said I was 2-3 cm dilated and 50% effaced. He did a little scraping around like when I had my second baby which put me into labor that night. However, I've been passing this since yesterday. The first part of it was bright red, which the doc warned me of. Now it's blood mixed with mucus or the bloody show they always talk about it. I've never had it that I can remember and this is my 3rd baby!

I passed small amounts of blood and mucus for two weeks before I went into labor, but I never really felt intense pressure. Good Luck!

I think it's different for everyone. But it's almost time and be assured of that! How excited for a new life about to come into the world for you!

Take a walk outdoors, take some quiet time and walk down the street. That can help you "move along".

How exciting! Good luck momma!
