It's 6 am my time right now and in just seeing this. Sorry you had such a scare! Glad they didn't find anything wrong. Hope you got lots of rest and relaxed for a while now since I'm so far behind.
So happy it was nothing! Sending you lots of hugs. So is it safe to say that you busted your butt from an enormous poop? Too soon to laugh?
I think I may have busted my ass haha! Or like the ladies said pressure from pushing.. I guess we'll never know! I'm going to freak next time I need to go though!
UPDATE #2: Sad to be writing this but.. I just went to the toilet there and there is a slight brownish stain in my underwear.. dried in blood? What should I do? Should I phone again? I'm thinking it's maybe from the internal exam.. I don't know what to do? I don't want to be a SS. SO said we should wait to see if it gets any worse.. As baby is moving around fine. I've felt kind of sick today but I think that's because I'm tired and hungry as I didn't get much to eat last with what went on..
Brown blood=old blood. It is probably from your internal exam and everything from lastnight. I would keep an eye on it and if it turns red, I would call.
If it was old brown blood, I wouldn't call, personally. The internal exam very well could have done that. If it progresses to pink or red, then I'd call.
And for the sick feeling, well, I'd chalk that up to 3rd trimester and not eating well yesterday.
I really hope you feel better soon, and I'm glad the update from last night was so uneventful Stay put, little one! And behave cervix!
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
Agree that brown blood = old and was probably from your internal. Also just wanted to say, I was at a checkup with my OB yesterday and at the end she told me that at any point something just didn't seem right, I didn't need anyone's permission to go to the hospital, so if there was anything that just didn't feel right I can go at any point and get checked out. You're doing the right thing right now listening to your body and taking care of yourself and your unborn baby. Best of luck to you!!
Thanks everyone. I'm going to wait it out for a few hours and listen to my body.. If anymore fresh red blood appears like last night then I shall call or if I get any pain ect. I'm just thinking it was from the internal.. Hoping I'm making the right choice in waiting a couple of hours.

cnumbers, when I was 24 weeks, I had to go into L&D for monitoring too. They did an internal exam and used a catheter to get a urine sample. For the next 36 hours (ish) whenever I wiped from going pee, there was slight spotting and tiny amounts of blood. It was just a result of the internal/catheter. I hope that's all it is for you. But listen to your body. Hope you have no more scares!
