Hi im 38 weeks pregnant with my first child, ive just been to the toilet and noticed red blood spots on the paper after ive wiped myself. Not a great amount just a few specs but i havn t seen any blood down there for a while and am a little bit worried can you help? many thanks mel
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the spotting might be due the preparatory changes occurring in the cervix for labor. Placenta Pravda or low-lying placenta can also be the cause but if there is no placenta Pravda then it cannot be the cause. If it is related to labor process the labor pains might get started simultaneously. So relax. But if spotting continues a vaginal examination might be needed for definite diagnosis. Avoid intercourse. Best regards...
