I had that at 36 weeks exactly. I had ruptured placenta. You need to get to l&d and call your dr en route. Just go.

When you say "a gush of blood" how much blood do you mean?  A teaspoon?  A half cup?  More?  Was it bright red or kind of pink and mucousy?

I agree with the other ladies go to labor and delivery...or at least call and describe what yu felt and see what they suggest...but brush it off so quickly.

It was like a teaspoon. The birth planner yesterday said not to  worry unless it more than a pad an hour.

Doctors will tell you to go to the hospital if you feel a hush of fluid, have bright red bleeding, and regular contractions that increase in intensity. It's not normal to have any bright red blood I would go to the emergency room immediately

Ooooh I would call and not wait. The fact that baby is moving is good, but you don't want to push ypur luck especially it there is an issue with your placenta. It can go from good to very dangerous for baby fast

I went and saw my doctor this morning and had a nst. I am having random contractions.  And am thinned out with being a finger tip dilated. They put my down to 20 hours a week at work. But my next appointment is next week if I make it. But I am home and waiting today. I will go back to work on the morning. I am no good at just sitting around.
