Blood "Show"

[emmie]

This is a tmi post but i dont know what to expect so........

I woke yesterday to lots of brown watery discharge with little bits of old blood all mucusy etc so i phoned midwife and she said it could be a bloody show so off i went and started to relax abit.

Today i am getting the same thing just alot more of it but this time it has some fresh and old blood in it is this normal?

Did anyone else get this or what do you think i should do?

I got this when I was in established labour (fresh red blood) and I only had the jelly stuff on my due date 10 days before.

Sounds like things are starting!

GOOD LUCK!

I had this just after my contractions had started. I went to the loo and it literally poured out of me! It made me call the labour ward as i was in a lot of pain 45minutes before it happened.
Call them just to be sure. But they'll probably get you to wait it out like they tried with me!

For me this happened a while after I realised I was having contractions. I wasn't in established labour though, just the latent phase.

I had this just before my contractions started and most of the first day of my latent phase. It was very fresh blood with lots of mucus. I was worried about there being so much fresh blood but the MW's said that so long as there was mucus mixed with it then it was ok.

do we think this could be the start then??
