37 weeks and spotting

Anonymous
I am 37 weeks and noticed some light spotting tonight. I called the OB and he said could be nothing, could be the mucus plug. I know I'm being a nervous nelly, but has anyone had faint, bright pink spotting at this point? Did it mean you were in labor soon after?

Even if it is the mucous plug, it could still be several weeks before you give birth. Could also be from a cervical exam or from sex, if you've had either of those in the past few days. It's not a sign that labor is imminent, although it could be a few days -- but you're full term, so the baby will be fine. I'm at 41 weeks and have had a bit of this over the past week and still have not gone into labor (and am so ready!).
