Is Nausea And Bleeding Normal During Pregnancy?

Hello. Hope you are well. I'm 39 weeks pregnant and having some bleeding and it hurts to pee. I had my cervix checked on Tuesday and I noticed blood on the doctors glove and had bleeding the rest of that day. It stopped yesterday but its back again today. At one point it was really red and not the pinkish brown milky color it was before. It's not a huge amount of blood but I notice every time I use the restroom and I have to wear a liner. The pain when peeing almost feels like a mild version of when I had a bladder infection a few years back.. its mostly at the onset of peeing and once the flow is going it feels better. Nausea is another symptom. In addition I just found out I'm GBS positive. Are these normal pregnancy/prelabor symptoms? How does one get GBS? Anything I can do to try and induce labor naturally? Thank you so much!

Hello and welcome,

The discharge that you describe appears to be the cervical mucus plug that is expelled before labor. It indicates that labor may now begin at any moment and this is the first step. The urinary discomfort may be due to the babys head coming down in the pelvis and is a common phenomenon.

The group B streptococcus is normally found in the intestines, rectum and perineal area and may colonize the vagina in some women. So it is not sexually transmitted.

For inducing labor naturally, a walk in the morning and evening is very helpful. Use of laxatives also stimulates labor pain but we do not recommend it. Nipple stimulation also helps in secretion of the hormone oxytocin which is responsible for producing contractions in the uterus. Most of the time no effort is needed and women go in labor spontaneously.

All my best wishes are with you for a safe delivery.

Take care.
Hope this satisfies your query.
