??? What is this? Bloody Show??? TMI

mommyaug06

Im 38 wks today. Just got home from my non stress test. I went to the bathroom and there is streaks of discharge with a brown tint. Is this bloody show? Its almost like what the end of my periods look like.

If it is does it mean labor will be starting soon? 

With #1 I was induced so I have no idea what to look for.

Did you have an internal exam?  I remember having blood tinged crud after an internal.

I was induced with C  and had a scheduled c section with IG so I don't know either...

It might be the beginnings of it...but don't get your hopes up--I had that for 2wks & I still had to be induced w/ #2.

No internal. I was just monitored for contractions and the babies movement due to EXCESS fluid. I go twice a week.

I ended up with a Csection with #1 and I have a scheduled csection on the 14th with #2. 

Im hoping if this is Bloody show labor holds off. DH is on his way to a polygraph for a new job with the NSA. Hes not going to be able to be contacted for like 4 hours.

another dumb question.....if you have bloody show does that mean your water is going to break? I have a ton of fluid. Im measuring 44 weeks at 38 wks due to the amount of fluid and if it breaks im gonna have a huge mess. I am heading out to go shopping and to lunch with dd. Id hate for it to break while shopping or eating!!

I was inducedwith ds1 too, and this happened to me with ds2!  I woke up the a.m. before I was due with the same discharge you describe.  I also had lots of bh all day.   That night (about 10pm) I started having real, timeable contax, all night long.  But they were only 8-10 min apart.  Around 5am I went to the bathroom and had more discharge, and it was pink, and suddenly my contrax picked up.  I had him that day (my due date) at 3:56pm.  Hope it is the same for you!  And even though you were induced the first time, (as I was) if you go on your own, you really WILL know, just as everyone says.  I promise!

Oh yeah, and I also started losing my mp 2 weeks before this- but that was different looking than what you are describing and I experienced the day before I went into labor.
