just wondering as with last birth with dc2 i had a proper blood tinged plug that could not be mistaken for anything else.

this time (after having sweep yest) i have had no bllod but had a few small bits off what i would call mucus after being to the loo, really is small ammount though and dont know if this is normal (and possibly something i have had before and not noticed) or if it could be the start of a "show"

getting a bit desperate looking for symptoms now

Mine looked like a blob of snot if that helps!
Fingers crossed it is a sign...

Mine came away in small dribs and drabs. No big globules. I don't know if something more substantial fell out when I was in labour, but there was nothing worth poking before it all kicked off.

hmm yes was going to use the word snot but decided againsed it it is like smears at the monent though (so sorry tmi)

with dc2 it was a big blob so this has confused me a bit.

mine was quite snotty - no blood in it though...

With DC2 mine was just blood, no snot. They still classed that as a show and she was born 3 days later.

blood tinged snot here too. Lots of it. Both DD's born within 12 hours.
