Ok, so after having contractions all night that were getting worse they eventually eased off this morning and I got some sleep. Put it down to particularly bad BH. Still have back ache and an ache going down both hips but not painful, just uncomfy and achy. So I checked my pad this morning and had the same kinda brownish discharge I've been having for about a week, I was thinking it might be the start of my plug going but never mentioned it to anyone and kinda just forgot about it. Then this afternoon I went to the loo, was feeling a bit wet (sorry tmi ) and noticed little pinkish/reddish marks on my pad and when I wiped there was a big blob of white discharge with pieces of the pinkish colour in it. It was quite big and looked like (sorry now!) snot! My question is, do you think that this was some of my plug coming away or could it considered a bloody show?
The books say there's no real difference between a show and the loss of your plug and neither mean labour is imminent but its good to know that things are moving in the right direction

Sounds like you are losing your plug petal White & pinkish snot like mucus is what they say to look out for when your plug is going!!
Eeeeekkkkkk!!!!

[MrsEL10]

Ooooo i haven't a clue hun but hope it's the start of it for you.... good luck

[babymakes3]

Eeeeeekkkkk is right I think I'm in denial right now. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! I'll be sure to let ye know if anything kicks off though

Really sounds like things are starting for you hon, good luck!

I had my show and plug 9days ago, but still no contractions... hope things are happening for you... being overdue is no fun

[babymakes3]

I hope so too hun! The contractions are really weird, like for a few hours I'll have loads of them and they get stronger and stronger and stronger....and then all of a sudden just go away! Knowing my luck I'll probably be like this for the next 2 weeks and go over due by another 2 weeks and end up being induced It's weird waiting on things to kick off isn't it!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so excited for you, you'd think it was my niece/nephew I was waiting on! Def sounds like things are starting!

Sure what've I told ya - yer an honourary auntie Hope it starts up again cause it seems to have eased off completely. No more show and the contractions are very few and far between! Still have that pain in my back though so I'm heading for a bath as soon as the water heats up! Hope that'll help with the achy, heavy feeling!

Ah imagine you could have baby during the night! You'd never know eeekkkk pity pains have gone but hopefully they'll come for real sometime soon! Can't believe your Lo is fullterm now :O

[chellebaby2012]

ooohhh so exciting really sounds like things are kicking off hunni (i didnt even know what plug was until i read down the post ) talk about being green about whats before me!!! ha ha keep us posted pet x

[mammyinwaiting]

Ok I had to read up what it was lmao. Hope things don't drag out for you now hun xxx

[Hawtmama]

hope your lo comes soon and that it doesnt drag out for you.

[wantone]

OMG OMG OMG, cant believe Im reading this!!! O wow you must be so so excited. Cant believe it
Hope it happens soon now for you, what do the say the norm time is after plug going? And for baths girls, do you have it up over bump or have bump up over water???

[babymakes3]

Thanks girls! Nothing else happening besides the back pain though! I think I'm all anxious and waiting for things to kick off since seeing the show yest! Wantone the WTE book says it can take anything from 48 hours to a week or in some cases longer for anything to happen! I'm just really making a point of enjoying each and every one of bubs movements at this stage! All too soon they'll be here and I'll never feel it again!
As for baths my bump is always over the water, the tub doesnt fill high enough to cover it
