Q about loosing the plug?

[boo]

Ok I feel a bit silly asking this but when you loose your mucus plug (am guessing this is the same as a show?) does it usually have blood in it?? Just asking as I think i may have lost some of mine but there was no blood and everything I've read usually refers to it as a "bloody show"....

Yeah as far as i'm aware they are the same thing. Yes it can have blood in it..mine did anyway.

both times mine was pinkish rather than red.

All the best!

Not always. With my DS, mine came away slowly over a few weeks and I was told it can regenerate. It was different to my normal cm at the time, thicker and gloopier, kinda yellowish, lol!! It didn't always have blood in it, but sometimes it did, sometimes just streaky bits, sometimes a pinkish tinge, sometimes a fair bit bloodier, but not always.

Mine had a little tinge to it, and it looked like a jellyfish. (sorry if tmi)

mine looked like jellyfish (thanks bridg, i needed a word for it!) and had no blood at all - was just kinda...jelly-fish looking...i started losing mine about 2-3 days before i went into labour...so you never know!

I wish I could help you, but I can't - I never lost my plug But I have heard that it can have blood in it - I read it when I was trying to find stuff to expect before labour

Thanks for the replies, from what you girls have said i'm pretty sure it was part of my plug, hopefully it means things are going to start happening soon I was getting mild cramps but they seem to have stopped completely.
