Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Symptom 1 of labor in pregnant women: In the 1-2 days before labor, a small amount of bloody mucus may flow from the vagina, which is commonly known as "seeing red." This is because the uterus contracts, and the baby's head begins to descend into the pelvis. As the fetal membrane and uterine wall gradually separate, friction causes blood vessels to rupture and bleed. The discharge may be a thick, red or brownish liquid, or it may contain streaks of blood.
