I need mulitple votes lol

Kameron - after being induced and well into labour, but before waters were broken

Lachlan - 37wks 6 days after an internal. Started that night and got really bloody next morning. Spoke to midwife who said it sounded like the show, but if it continued to go in. It didn't continue and I was induced 3 days later.

Love :smt049

Never lost mine at all - DS was stuck in the birth canal for 5 days and I'm sure that if he wasn't I would have lost it during labour

With DS it came away over a couple of days so I never really saw a plug, just pretty much every time I went to the toilet there was a lot of mucous there. I went into labour about 2 days after that.

With DD I never saw it at all. My waters broke just before I started pushing so I assume it came out at some point then.

I'm actually quite disappointed, I wanted to get a look at it! Hoping I get to see it this time.

Mine was the morning I went into labour........from that moment on I knew things were happening.........gave birth about 12 hours later!

I didn't see my show until straight after my waters were broken, well into labour. Ob was trying to hurry things along as it was a long labour.

Thanks for this poll!! I was wondering if I hadnt had a show yet that I wouldnt go into labour this weekend, but it seems as though it should be fine then!! There is hope for an EDD labour day yet!! hehehe

Thanks.. also does it just look like a period? (Sorry if tmi but i dont know!!)

Pee,

Sometimes the show / mucous plug can be blood-stained but to be honest, to me it more looks like a huuuge lot of semen LMAO... some women actually get confused with it if they have sex late in pregnancy.

Pietta · August 24th, 2004, 09:43 PM

So I need to look for funky coloured lumps of semen!! LOL
I will keep my eye out then...

There is none of that happening atm due to pelvic and hip pain so I am pretty sure I will notice! Thanks for the info Kelly!!

(BTW I like all the new avatars!! The ladies are keeping you busy with all these changes arent they!!)

ok...for me it was on my due date which wss 14 days before induction... and as we were trying to hurry along labour naturally... I wasn't sure if it was or not, but mine was bloody and mucousy (TMI) for around 12 hours.

**Ambah** · August 25th, 2004, 10:23 AM

Show?... what show??? I'm guessing it probably came out when my waters broke and gushed onto the floor...

**mouse_9_2001** · August 27th, 2004, 12:39 PM

mine came 2 days before i had josh, and as soon as it came was when i slowly started to dilate, mine looked like a massive amount of seamen come to think of it, but with a few blood streaks in it aswell

Excuse me for being so uninformed - but what is 'the show'?

KeenAs

**Lucy** · September 20th, 2004, 11:09 PM

KeenAs........the "show" is when the mucus plug that prevents infectiosn getting into the cervix that is plugging theneck of hte cervix comes away through the vagina late in pregnancy: usually around when labour starts/when your waters break............

**Oosie** · April 23rd, 2010, 05:34 PM

Hi I'm 35weeks pregnant...I vomited this morning then after that I when to the loo for a pee but then I saw a thick white/yellow snotty discharge.

I have no pain what so ever just allot of enery so I was wondering is this my show?

**Lucy** · September 20th, 2004, 11:11 PM

This is gross, but mine looked like a cross between a bloody stringy glob of snot, and semen........revolting.......sorry if TMI :-# but because it was so yuk I knew straight away what it was.............
