I thought it sounded so strange until I saw it &amp; knew that was EXACTLY what it was lol!! Mine was probably only 2 inches but bloody &amp; super stringy &amp; like thick cord of discharge (sorry sorry--tmi!) I didn't have LO until like 5 days later though! I was discouraged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-78517 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:45:33 +0000 mynoahbear 78517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never lost mine and never had bloody show either b </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-78497 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:19:37 +0000 venice4504 78497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never saw mine either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-78486 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:08:44 +0000 katdevargas 78486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for the descriptions! I hadn't googled anything about it, but it's good to hear what other people have experienced. I'm at 39 weeks &amp; haven't seen anything yet, but my mom said she never saw one with either me or my brother &amp; the ladies that I work with &amp; have talked to about it never saw theirs, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-47926 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:24:41 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 47926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my mucus plug while in labor after wiping while going to the bathroom. But my water never broke. It wasn't bloody, but certainly not what I expected-- gelatinous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-47924 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:21:02 +0000 Rock n Roll 47924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-47915 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:11:14 +0000 ohapostrophe 47915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Kind of like snot but bloody (sorry for the visual). Saw it around 10 pm, woke up with contractions at 5 am, baby born naturally at 7 pm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-47175 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:10:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 47175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>blehhh, reading through the comments made me want to vomit. Haha! I guess probably because I never saw mine. @chopsuey119: of course you took a picture!! haha!!</p> <p>I never saw one speck of colored discharge at all since the day I conceived, and the morning I went into labor I kept going to pee to see if I was losing my mucus plug (because I wasn't sure it was really labor) and when I wiped, I saw a tiny tiny tiny tiny chunk of blood. Not a drop, not a smear, but a chunk. I was so happy to see that tiny little chunk! I was like, this has GOT to be it! (I had been having Braxton Hicks for weeks!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-47079 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:54:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 47079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, thanks to what you ladies posted, I'm convinced I lost mine last night :-) Now to wait.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-44349 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 21:16:56 +0000 Clementine 44349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies, you are brave. I don't think I could google it without up chucking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43782 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:06:09 +0000 Rubies 43782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine 2 days before I started having contractions. It looked like a giant, beige-y snot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43773 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:48:07 +0000 CameronsMomma 43773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not that far along, and totally had to to google it just to see. Hopefully I miss mine, otherwise I might just be sick when I see it! (I swear my stomach was ironclad before getting pregnant!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43471 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:27:33 +0000 Andrea 43471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: you must have the scariest photo collection ever!</p> <p>No I never saw mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43460 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:22:23 +0000 chopsuey 43460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I know. I'm a little out of control when it comes to amazing bodily items! :D my luckily fam gets to see all my pics too :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43412 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:38:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 43412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha you take a picture of everything that's related to bodily functions!</p> <p>mine came out shortly after my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43406 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:35:04 +0000 BabyLove 43406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I didn't either. I always, always checked toward the end but nothing ever gave me a sign that I was nearing labor. Until all of a sudden I was in labor. The contractions were the only things that were textbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43380 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:24:27 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 43380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a difference between a mucus plug and a bloody show? I've read they're the same and I've read they're different. So confusing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43379 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:24:07 +0000 MsMamaBear 43379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine on the Friday before my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43378 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:23:20 +0000 banana 43378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine 2 days before I went into labor. I went to the bathroom and there it was. A pinkish/salmon colored long string. LOL There was no doubt in my mind that it was my mucus plug, even without ever seeing pictures. I threw mine away though. No pics. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43372 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:20:37 +0000 Rosie Girl 43372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I ever lost my or not. I never saw it :) And I never had a bloody show either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43346 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:58:16 +0000 chopsuey 43346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I had googled it because I was curious too. But none of the images I found were of the plug. I think a lot of women confuse regular mucus for the plug. :) most of the time you lose it when you're peeing, but I was lucky! I lost it right as I was coming out of the shower. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43344 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:57:55 +0000 pelikila 43344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never lost mine before I went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43342 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:56:14 +0000 heffalump 43342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think @chopsuey119: described it well! My husband googled it and accidentally clicked on images, he wanted to puke. I didn't go into labor for weeks after I lost mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43340 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:53:46 +0000 anewme 43340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i lost my mucus plug, but it was about 1 week before i went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43339 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:53:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 43339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: LOL - that's too funny that you took a picture of it. I guess I was wondering what it looked like because I've heard it can be a range of colors and consistancies... so I'm not sure what to expect, if anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43334 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:50:48 +0000 chopsuey 43334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. If you really wanna know what the mucus plug looks like I can send you a picture. HAHA. I made my DH take a picture of it because it looked SO AMAZING! It was long.. about 4 inches, and the prettiest color. It didn't just look like mucus, it looked stringy on the inside and was a faint pinkish color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-bloody-showmucus-plug#post-43326 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:47:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 43326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious if anyone actually lost their mucus plug or had a bloody show before they went into labor. It seems like it's pretty rare so I was wondering if that's an actual indication of labor, and, if you don't mind sharing, just curious what it actually looked like. </p>
