37 weeks dark brown/red discharge

I also think it's your show. Try not to worry hun. At 37 weeks your baby is fully formed and can be birthed now without any problems.

I know the feeling! All through my first pg I kept reading about 'the show' and that it meant the baby would be born anything from that day to a week later and I thought I was prepared for it but when I saw it on my knickers I was so scared because it meant that it was all very real, that the baby was going to come soon (the next day in fact) but I was also calm kwim? I hope that your appointment goes well tomorrow and that you are soon holding your wee babe

Thanks again. Had appointment today but didn't find out whether bleeding was 'show' or not. Today the bleeding has been slightly heavier, still dark brown. Does it need to be actual mucous to be the plug? I've had other bleeding throughout my pregnancy relating to separation of the placenta, but I am really hoping that this is a sign that labour is on the way. Has anyone had a 'show' where the bleeding lasts more than a day?

I had my show the day I went into labour so Im not really sure hun, but if your still concerned then you should give your OB or hossy a ring.

i am not sure either. my show was mucousy and had pinky colour. i was induced that day (post dates). but if it is getting quite heavy i would call again.

Hey Lou

I haven't responded in our thread yet but wanted to share with you, when I had my show it was mucusy with fresh blood in it and when I went to the toilet it took about 10 - 15 wipes iykwim.

Given your history I am not so sure that this is your show actually but hey its different for everybody isn't it I kind of hope it is though

All the best hun
