Mucus Plug/Bloody Show

AmandaG225 · June 2014

I know there was recently a discussion about mucus plugs but I can not find it. This is probably more for STM or FTM that already have their LOs....when you experience bloody show, that is referring to when you loose your mucus plug and the mucus is mixed with blood...correct? I am pretty sure I am experiencing this now but it started in the wee hours of the morning and is still going on 14 hrs later. Is that normal? How long can I expect it to last or does it last until LO arrives? TIA

Show us a picture!!!!

No but seriously, I've been loosing pieces for the last two days. With DD1 I didn't loose anything until I went into labor. Everyone is different.

Also don't really show us a picture.

Lost mine a week ago over the course of a day. Still pregnant at 39w.

Didn't lose it at all with DD

I lost mine in a couple of chunks with my daughter(over a few days if I remember correctly), and didn't go into labor that week.

This happened to me after a cervical check. It continued for about a day. My midwife said to just be concerned if it is period-like blood!

It can mean something…or nothing. I've had 3 spontaneous labors and have never noticed losing my mucous plug nor have I had bloody show. Ya just never know!

With my first it was in one piece streaked with blood, I went into labor within hours. This time I've noticed mucus over the course of about 36 hours now, no blood, and no signs of impending labor. It's just another mysterious "sign" that could indicate changes are happening, just doesn't tell you about how fast the changes are happening!

My OB said if it's period like blood to go to the hospital so I would suggest calling your doctor if it's like that. If it's more mucousy, it is probably just your plug.
