Im about to have my fifth bub and i had what i believed to be a show thismorning...it looked like yellowy snogs with blood streaked in it but it wasnt too much ,anyway its 8.22pm and still nothing more has happened.Do i expect to go into labour tonight or tomorrow.?????

Some lovely descriptions though...lol

"show" is a bit of blood, a bit of mucous, maybe something like if you had a bloody nose and blew it.  It can be pinkish or brownish.  It doesn't mean it's your mucus plug.  that is more substantial and more mucousy, it will usually be a fair bit - more than just "spotting".  It's hard to tell the difference sometimes but either way you're getting close.  Closer if it's the plug.  You're probably more confused now, but very soon, the difference won't matter because you'll be having your baby!!

I remember when I was having my first at the ripe old age of 20 to the day,as I had him on my 20th birthday.I had no idea of the plug or show .I had gone into early labour and when i got to the hospital they asked me about the plug ,I didn't have a clue at what they were talking about but then I said was it like snot lol and they said yes.That's how I describe it .I never did get to experience my waters breaking as they always did it when I got to the hospital.
