38 weeks pregnant, membranes stripped, and now bleeding and passing clots... is this normal??
Very strange... I had my membranes stripped today at the hospital. I have been having braxton hicks every since I had this done. They aren't severe though, just enough to make me uncomfortable. I lost my mucus plug about a week prior. When I went to the bathroom about an hour ago I noticed that I had passed a couple of blood clots about the size of my thumb nail. They were very, very dark red in color... almost black. (which I know means old blood) Also, the toilet was tinged pink because of blood. The blood is not red blood and my midwife did say I could have some pink spotting which I've had. Should I be concerned about these clots?? There were only two. Have any of you ever had anything like this happen to you?? Is it a sign that labour is around the corner? I just can't seem to find any information on this anywhere on the internet. I am baffled. Please help me out if you have any experience with this.
I plan to call my midwife in the morning I am just curious in the meantime.
