just wandering coz im 41+3 wks pg and still haven't had one i don't think. i have noticed some stringy discharge is that likely to be a show. it is not blood stained at all though. is it possible to not have a show until your labour or not have one at all.

also im going for an induction on monday, is there any chance ill go naturally before then. i haven't had any signs like bh's or any thing.

Hello 18mumtobe. Sounds a bit like the beginning of it to me. With my 1st, I had some stringy discharge about 12 hours before it all kicked off properly. I phoned the midwives, thinking it was the show and they said it was just my cervix softening up to get ready. In some senses it was, because although a huge gob of mucus (sorry too much information probably!) came out during the early part of labour when I was still at home before going to hospital, which was the proper show, what I saw 12 hours previously was a very small bit of what would be the show. That's how I saw it anyway. I think you could be on the way. Good luck!!

My show started like yours and kind of leaked out over the course of a day. They thought it was my waters but after checking concluded it was a show. Wasn't blood stained until labour started after an internal at the hospital (checking the waters!). I had no 'plug' to speak of which is what made it difficult.
Good Luck.
