Pregnancy is the most magical and precious experience in a woman’s life. It is the first step into motherhood. However, the whole experience comes with certain trials at different stages of the process.

Closer to your due date, a light pink or watery brown blood discharge along with some mucus or wetness could be a bloody show – the mucus plug coming off. This is the first sign of labour. However, if you experience heavy bleeding along with cramps or pain, it could indicate a complication, and you need immediate medical attention.
A bloody show – a small discharge of light pink or red blood around the time of delivery is very common. This happens when the mucus plug comes off, indicating dilation of the cervix. Any bleeding heavier than that, especially heavy bleeding with cramps or pain, is not normal.
No, bleeding like your period or soaking up sanitary pads during pregnancy can indicate a possible miscarriage, placental abruption, or other complications with the pregnancy. You need to go to the hospital and consult a doctor immediately. You may need to take ultrasound scans to ensure everything is safe with your pregnancy.
Spotting around your period time can be implantation bleeding or just the old blood coming out. Spotting throughout the first trimester or just before going into labour is also common and nothing to worry about. Spotting or mild bleeding after intercourse or a vaginal exam during pregnancy is also normal. However, heavy bleeding or bright red blood during pregnancy needs immediate medical attention.
