 Topic: is this a show?? TMI maybe!
Posted: 08 October 2006 at 3:02pm |
i think i may have had a show this morning but i'm not sure.... 
when i went to the toilet and wiped, there was alot of clear thick, mucus stuff that was ever so slightly yellow in colour. not pinky/red as i would expect a show to be. i had to wipe about 3-4 times to get it all which is what made me think it was a show..?
i know it doesn't mean things will happen soon, but this late in the game it just might??
it better anyway!!

I always thought the show had a pinky red colour to it. But that is just my thinking. Anyway I hope it is the start of something to come for you.

It could be! Mine wasn't pinky red with Maya it was brown. But any change in CM indicates a change in the cervix which means it's getting ready.
I had a similar thing a few days ago.
When are you seeing your m/w again? Maybe she could do a stretch and sweep to give bubs some encouragement.

If it was just clear in color or maybe a bit cloudy it was your mucus plug coming loose, the show will always have blood with it even if it's just a *teeny* amount - and be it bright red or brown (this is what my m/w told me anyway). The plug and the show can come together, or seperately, or not at all before actual labour starts... but yes, the mucus plug is a sign of things starting to get ready. Ditto on Emma's suggestion of asking for a stretch and sweep !

mine kinda looked like I had sneezed and had a really bad cold....I had a horrible feeling you'd taken a photo and debated whether to open this thread or not.

I had a pinky show with Hannah but with Briona it was very thick (didn't wet panties) and the colour of latex gloves... here's hoping!! With Hannah I had a show 2 1/2 days before contractions started but with Briona I had already had contractions for a few hours before the show.

LMAO Liz... the same concern may have crossed my mind. (Note that I still opened the thread )
Vanessa - Yep, that's what I had about a minute before my waters broke and I started having contractions!
and haha I always thought the show and the mucus plug were the same things.

lol liz and nikki!! at least it would've been easier to explain it if there was a pic 
i told bubs it wasn't allowed to do anything til the weekend was over and my midwife was back on duty as i don't like the backup lady as much.....at least it's listening to me. midwife is coming tomorrow arvo to do a sweep so will see what that brings....it's definately cooked enough i say!!!!
