Patient's question:
My due date is only three or four days away, but I've started bleeding. Will this not interfere with the baby at all? A few days before the bleeding, I often felt a slight, pulling pain in my abdomen, but after the bleeding started, the pain wasn't as severe.Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, you've experienced bloody show 3-4 days before your due date, which will absolutely not interfere with the baby in any way, and it indicates a normal labor progression. Before the bloody show, you might have experienced pain as the baby moves down, but once the bloody show occurs, the baby has already risen into the pelvis, so the pain is not as intense.I suggest you go to the hospital promptly for a check-up, stay in for observation and prepare for labor. Since you've experienced bloody show, it's recommended to rest in bed, increase your activity, and eat more high-calorie foods to boost your energy.
