Bleeding with mucus plug

I had bleeding at last night around 11plus followed by contractions starts around 2.47am. I am in the hospital already and only 1cm dilated. There is contraction pain but bearable & doctor asked me to go back and wait for the contractions to be more intense and regular. Reached home and around 5am got the urge the poo & have so much more bloody show & this time round much more red and the amount is quite a lot. I am 37.3weeks today. Is this amount normal? 1st picture is the first bleeding at 11plus last night followed by this morning 5am after I came home from hospital. It literally flew to the wall when I wiped with toilet paper LOL #advicepls

Looks like mucus plug but does not mean you'll give birth anytime soon. The reason your gynae tells you to go home is because you're not in active labour & only a cm dilated. Normally they will keep you if you're already 3cm & above. Keep walking at home or do squats to help you dilate faster. Remember to count your contractions. Get ready to head to the hospital if it's frequent from 5-10 mins. This means you're in active labour.
