Hi Ameeta,

Yes, the show is quite unmistakable once you see it (I think) but for a lot of women it won't come out till you're actually in labour so many don't get to see it at all. WARNING TMI! Mine did come out blood stained, firstly with old blood so it looked brown but the second lot with lots of fresh, bright red blood which was quite scary, but both are quite normal.

I'm booked into the Mater private, I haven't heard anything good or bad about the new hospital but the old one was supposed to be quite good. It seems I'll be there sooner than expected.

Just as an update I think the receptionist didn't pass my message on to my OB so I'm going to try and get in touch with him again today. I'm not due to see him for another week but I'd really like him to know what's going on, and hey, there's a chance I won't last another week
