Period like clumps of blood during pregnancy, what could it be?

Hi, im 34w2d pregnant and I feel my baby moving and everything still, but this morning when I wiped after urining there was like 2 or 3 clumps of blood. Like something you'd get with a period. What are all the possibilities with this? Not scared, just curious, its my first baby.

    Probably your bloody show. It is the very last 'bit' of your mucus plug. You lose that when you've started to dilate.

    I would go on and give your doctor a call,just to let her know what's going on. Especially only being 34 weeks and experiencing this.

    While some women lose theirs early and it reforms well before labor. We always have to allow for the possibility of pre-term labor,and take the necessary precautions. In this case,call your doctor even if you're not having the slightest braxton hicks contraction.

    Is it very dark red blood or is it more mucousy with blood streaks in it? If it seems more bloody than mucousy, you need to contact your doctor immediately. If it's more mucousy than bloody, it's probably just bits of your mucous plug working it's way out, and you probably don't need to call your doctor, but if it would make you feel better, call anyway.

    Anytime you bleed while pregnant you should contact your doctor, it could be the start of a miscarriage though that doesn't sound likely this late in term, but call to be safe.
