I never had it! Lack of those "signs" is why the last several days were so discouraging.

I didn't really have it either...I maybe saw something that could have been it once I was in labor/after my water broke. Sounds like you're close!!!

I had been in early/prodromal labor for over a day before I started having mine! Hopefully this means some things are happening & it won't be too much longer.. *fingers-crossed*

Well I lost my mucus plug a couple weeks before labor. But I had my bloody show and labor started pretty much immediately afterwards and then baby was born 12 hours after that. Good luck!!

Same day as well. Had my bloody show in the morning and contractions started (lightly) shortly after. Baby was born at 2:00 a.m. the next day.

@grizz: Hahaha! Excited & gross is how I felt about losing my mucus plug & having bloody show. I believe I started having bloody show about 24 hours before I went into active labor. Good luck you're almost there!

Oooo! So happy to see this post! FX things are happening!
Oh and what's the difference between losing the plug and "the bloody show"? Should I already know this!?

I saw some blood starting at around 5pm. I woke up the next morning around 6:30am with cramping that was the start of my labor. Keep us posted!

@knittylady: I asked one of the labor and delivery nurses I work with (thank goodness I'm close to her! ha!) the difference, and she said that she is guessing I've already lost the majority of the plug if I'm having the bleeding. She acted like the plug comes first.

Exciting news! Sounds like you're well on the way to meeting your little guy!

After the bloody show, I had my son within 24 hours. That was of course, taking into account having 5 shots to stop contractions (water broke at 33 weeks, 7 days). If I hadn't had the shots I would have had LO pretty quickly.

I lost mine in early labor...hopefully it means something will happen soon for you, too!

I think I had mine yesterday morning but it could have been from the two cervical checks on Monday. I've read that some people go into labor right away and that it takes a few days for others. Here's hoping you go quickly!!!!

Started seeing bloody show in the morning, water broke at 11:15pm and contractions started immediately. I had her by 10 the next morning.
I hope it's soon for you!!

So exciting! I keep looking for either/both every day even though I'm still a few weeks out. Can't wait to see who will have the first June (or maybe late May) baby!!

I had my water break and no bloody show, but it sure seems like baby should be here soon! Excited for you. Hope you have a wonderful birth.

I lost my mucous plug two weeks before I got induced. I never had a bloody show.

I had the mine the day before LO was born! I had the bloody show first thing in the morning (Wed) when I woke up and had super mild cramps (actually they were contractions once I started timing them and realised there was a pattern) all day. By evening they felt like normal cramps and full on labour started at 2:00 am that night. LO was born that evening (Thurs) - I think most things I have read said labour starts within 24 hrs of the show! Good luck!!!!!
