Can anyone remind me what a 'show' looks like?

Just that really...I am waiting for dc3 and can't remember what a show is and as that's the first sign, I would like to know . Thanks!

Mine was a series of jelly like blobs. Others have said theirs have had streaks of blood in but mine was just clear. Hope you LO doesn't leave you waiting too long. x

Like a huge string of bloody, snotty mucous. My sister likened it to a magician pulling a never ending string of handkerchiefs out of a magic hat, such was it's quantity.

Good luck, HopsGarden. Sex every night will help bring it on, not just as a one off.

An acupressure point for the womb is above your ankles, either side of your Achilles' tendons. Massaging that might help too.

Thanks all...bizarrely as I was reading this I wandered to the loo and low and behold I find a 'show' ha! Now I remember but thanks for confirming it all so I know it's not just more pregnancy glamour!
