The bloody show usually comes with just a pink tint as you efface and dilate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-105871 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:39:47 +0000 His Barista 105871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My plug looked kind of like a greenish brown booger. Lol. About a week later I had discharge with blood specks in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-105808 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:23:02 +0000 pastemoo 105808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek.

Doctor wanted me to get admitted to check things down there. Still kinda bloody.... I'm not in labor so that's good news.... No change in dilation. Omg the check was so painful!</p> <p>They're coming!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-105315 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:56:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 105315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

I was 12+ hrs into labor at that point, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-105252 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:54:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 105252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my!!!!! I never saw my mucus plug or any bloody show, just a tiny chunk of blood when I wiped, but I pretty much already knew I was in labor because of the contractions. eeeee!!!! twinsies are coming...!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-105240 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:47:55 +0000 MegWag 105240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never saw or noticed anything- hence I was completely unprepared when my water broke!<br /> Looking back I was having slight contractions the day before I just didn't realize it. I noticed some mucus, but I thought it was just discharge... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104874 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:12:50 +0000 cvbee 104874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I was just at our 'delivery' class and they said that some people call it a mucus plug and some people call it the 'show'. So, according to that class, they are the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104873 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:12:27 +0000 chopsuey 104873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: My mucus plug was long and slimy and stringy and a really pretty color! I think the bloody show's different! Eek! you're having your LOs tomorrow, right?!!? Go out and do something exciting today!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104868 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:08:13 +0000 Andrea 104868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are different. It would make sense to lose your mucus plug and now perhaps your bloody show is starting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104860 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:01:28 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 104860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're different... My mucus plug looked like my vagina blew its nose, and it came 3 weeks before I went into labor. My bloody show came right before my water broke and it looked like bloody snot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104854 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:57:36 +0000 tequiero21 104854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: hahaha exactly. well tmi, the one i woke up to monday did look like a gigantic slimy snot string or something and today, just looks like some light spotting - but not sure if i saw mucus..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104847 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:53:38 +0000 Rubies 104847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mucus plug looked like a giant snot. Then one night later, I had like, bloody snot. So, *I* think they're different...But I'm not entirely sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-vs-bloody-show#post-104841 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:52:19 +0000 tequiero21 104841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is that one and the same? i swear my mucus plug came out like sunday evening or monday morning.... now i'm spotting a bit now (left message for doctor)... and wondering if that's the "bloody show".... unless it's one and the same and i'm just spotting. </p>
