    Well for those that want an update...
    Nothing.

    I am starting to wonder if the blood mixed with my mucus plug was just from the pelvic exam I had the day before. Yet, I stopped bleeding that day and lost the plug the following. If you lose just your mucus plug it can still be two weeks I guess.

    Yet, if you bleed from the cervical exam wouldn't it still be considered the bloody show?

    So Confused.

    Sorry Jessica, but I don't think you have had your show. It is normal to have bleeding after an internal because there is so much extra blood flow there, the cervix becomes sensitive. It is equally normal to have blood in the mucuous plug. Some women can loose their plug at 34 weeks and still go overdue, unfortunately it is not a good indicator of when labour will start.

    The bloody show is fresh red blood, and it isn't very heavy.

    It can't be long now though, at most 5 weeks!

    Actually I have to get induced on the 13th so i only have 11 more days! It is not very long, but I was hoping I would go into labor naturally instead of being induced. I am being induced so my family can be there. My mom especially.

    I lost my plug in bits over the day before I went into labour & I also had a bloody show that day too. It started out with a small amount of blood & by the time labour had hit it inreased. By the time I got to hospital it was like a heavy period but the middy said "don't worry about that, that's just your show".

    Well.... I am starting to believe that I just lost my mucus plug and the blood that was there was from the old pelvic exam. A little disappointing but what can you do.

    On a happier note.... 10 days until my induction!!1
