How much spotting is normal...

Thread Starter 
When contrax aren't regular yet?! All things I know as a doula soooo go out the window when its me.

So, I've been having prodromal labor for days now and as of friday was a tight 3cm or stretchy 2cm - pending on who checked. LOL. Woke this morning with quite a bit of bloody show but contrax are still quite irregular. On and off all morning/early afternoon when wiping I have a little blood tinge, but thats it. I just went to the bathroom again and knew my undies were wet; but figured it was just the ridiculous amount of cm I've been having. Well this time they're wet with a very visble pink liquid. Not wet enough for me to wonder if its waters, but the pink is more than I've had at all?!? It seems to be a lot. But its pink - not bright red. Ugh, probably being silly.

Also, I am so paranoid about not admitting this is "IT" since I've thought that so many times so far and ending up at home alone delivering this baby with 22month old DD as my doula

It sounds like the beginning of labor to me. I've been obsessively checking the tp for bloody show. I wouldn't be surprised if your contractions start picking up fairly soon. Good luck!

Normal is up to several spoonfuls(teaspoons or tablespoons escapes me at the moment but i was tending towared tablespoons) of blood mixed with mucus and other fluids.

Think this is it!!! Send labor vibes ladies... The show is still there and the contrax (although still not regular time wise) are much stronger. Doula is on her way to hang with me a little bit so I can get her take on things too.
