35 weeks increased discharge and blood in urine?

Throughout pregnancy, a mucus plug blocks the opening of the cervix to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. Before labor, this mucus plug is expelled so that the cervix can open to allow the baby to pass through during labor and birth.

How soon after my mucus plug passes will labor begin?

Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth. Labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens over time.

What does a mucus plug look like?

A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some women may not even notice the loss of their mucus plug because there is already an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

When should I call my health care provider?

If the mucus seems normal in color, there is no need to contact your health care provider immediately. You may just want to let them know at your next visit.

You should call your health care provider immediately if your discharge suddenly becomes bright red and the amount is more than an ounce (about two tablespoons). You could be experiencing a complication such as placenta previa or placental abruption.

Are you sure that the blood was in your urine?

Call the ob/gyn right away. It could be a sign of preterm labor if the blood was not in your urine, or if you had a rush of fluid that seemed like urine it could have been your bag of waters. UTIs don't always give any discomfort only an increase in frequency or blood in the urine.

Either way call your dr., you should NEVER ignore blood in your urine.

Brown Mucus In Urine

Is the discharge thick and boogery looking? If so, it may have been your mucus plug. They usually look like snot and can be accompanied by a brown/red color. Also blood can be a sign of dilation. Call up your doctor and tell them what's been going on, just to be safe.

Are you sure that it's blood in your urine, and not the beets you had for dinner last night? Red tinted foods can color your urine red. If you are sure it's blood, get to your doctors ASAP...blood in the urine is never a good thing, pregnant or not.

I have constant UTI's while i'm pregnant and not with your "typical signs"

I'd call your dr, they'll prolly want you to go in for a urine sample.

I would definitely get checked for a UTI. I had a symptomless one just recently - It still needs to get treated and is best not to be ignored.

maybe from having sex-- that happened to me first time around-- it turned out to be OK-- I went to the ER and they gave me a non-stress test... everything was fine.

Good luck-- call your doctor if your instincts tell you to. :0)

Are you sure it wasn't your "bloody show" (where you lose your mucous plug)? I would contact the doctor to make sure everything is alright!

it might be the mucus plug
