Reddish tinge in knickers (tmi!!)

I'm 37wks and I've notice a little tinge of red in my knickers every so often over this last wk. Sometimes discharge can slightly more liquidy. I've not had any pelvic exams. I'm not sure if I have dropped, though my bladder does feel like it's under severe P at times, esp during night. Is this normal for this time of pregnancy?

It could be bloody show. It means your cervix is ripening and changing and you are loosing your mucus plug. Just one of many things to come and let you know your body is getting ready! Mention it to your doctor but they will probably figure it out when they check you next time you go in.

Yes it is normal, it could be amniotic fluid. The baby is more than likely getting down into position and its causing some fluid to just leak. If it gets thicker or heavier I would call your obgyn but I think for now your ok. With each of my pregnancies I started leaking fluid about this time and it always looked the same way. Hope that helps ease a little off you mind sweetie
