Hi there Juleswa.

I didn't lose my plug until after I had been having contractions for about 13 hours on and off. I was only in full on labour for 5 hours and lost my plug about 2 hours after arriving at the hospital. I had a show the night before which I think you can get quite a while before going into labour, it just means that your cervix is opening up. I remember I was like you, always checking for the blood tinged mucous when my time was coming closer.

I'm Sorry but whats the difference between loosing the plug and the show? I thought losing the plug was the show.
