When Did You Lose Your Show / Mucus Plug?

**~Raven~** · March 23rd, 2005, 12:40 PM

With Mason the show came out when I sat on the loo. I just kept dripping. I thought it might have been the waters as they said at the pre natal class that it can leak slowly sometimes. He was born 9 1/2 hours later.

With Angus I didn't see the show until I was in very active labour in the bath. I saw blood floating in a blob in the water. The midwife said oh thats a little show. Then the waters exploded and I had to get out of the bath and in two pushed Angus was out!
I was told to wait for the show before coming in to the hospital but if I did then Angus would have been born in the driveway!

I agree with everyone elses discriptions of it.
I got mine about 10 hours before i had son.

I'e waited until I had had jacob before answering this one. So out of 5 pregnancies I have not once had a show - not sure if I should be happy about this or not LOL.

My show started about 8 days after my due date, and continued for the 3 days before I was induced. It was a bit like the end of my period, but every so often had a couple of big snotty globs in it.
Yum.....

I didn't with Nyah, as everything was so quick, I went into hospital at 35weeks and 5 days and 7cms dialated, and didn't know I was in labor!

William on the other hand AAARRRGGGHHH I had a show one week before hand and was in pre-labor for 2 weeks. #-o

I reckon this was the most gross part of the whole experience (that and getting the catheter inserted... 8-[ ).
I saw a bit of show after 2 doses of prostin gel to induce labour then, after a 3rd dose of gel, I saw what looked like a big goober of snot on the tp. Ewww! It smelled hideous too and it made me gag. Urrgh! Still, I was happy to see it because it meant that the gel was doing more than just putting me under excrutiating pain!

It's appaearance was like a thick, mucous-like plug about 3cm long. I had never seen one before but knew what it was immediately.

I had 2 shows. the first was about 5 days before my waters broke. It was like a giant lump of snot. The second was the night before I went into labour and it was clear mucus on the loo paper with little flecks of bright red blood in it.
