What colour is a show?

[sweetheart]

Just had a massive blob of discharge when I went to the toilet but it was 100% clear - no blood or anything.

Could this be a show???????

Am 40 wks + 1 today

yep sounds like it! mine was completely clear too!

yes! did it look like pork pie jelly>?

could be, ask midwife to check you out
my shows were clear but had a tinge of blood in them

can be clear SH completely depends my friends was really brown and bloody but I never had one at all with adam.

Yep sounds like it, check your bags are packed and rest as much as you can for as long as baby will let you, could be a few hours, could be a few days.

mine was the same day.

Not as thick as pork pie jelly - just a really gunky discharge - jelly like!

yeah its a show in my expert (not) opinion.

Mine looked like pork pie jelly (although agree not as thick) with a little blob of blood.

mine was a bit like hair gel, the old fashioned kind
only a little streak of blood later on

me again.......

so when you do have a show does it happen all in one go or is it possible to loose it a bit at a time.

I'm still getting alot of gunk everytime I go to the loo - it's still 100% clear and I'm just wondering if I have alot of discharge today or if I'm loosing the plug bit by bit.

I've had quite alot of discharge with this pregnancy but it normally goes on my knickers - this stuff is thicker and comes away when I wipe after going to the loo.

I haven't really had any pains all day which is why I'm wondering if this is a show

SH - I had a show at 35 wks! It was stuck to my back when I pulled my knickers up..... LOL!

Bits came away over the next 4 wks and had a blood tinged one at 39wks. Dd born at 39+2.

I had my show in lots of bits

mine was like that sweetheart! had a bit lot one morning... then bits during the day. then nothing for a couple of days.. then another big bit and labour that night!

I started getting pains and then had a show that was quite bloody and this went on for an hour then it stopped my dd was dorn 12hrs later!
Good luck sweetheart fingers crossed

My show with DD came in bits and pieces and was clear. I think it was aboyt a week between it starting and her being born

Mine was pinkish, BUT I NEVER had it w/DD until I was in established labour. How about that??

Am SO hoping this is it for you, SH.

I never had a "show" with any of my 3 children. With first, just started bleeding, bright red, no pains, she was born 4 hours later. Son had no show, born 2 hours after pains started. 2nd daughter born, no show, no blood, no jelly, just pains. Born 3 hours later after they broke my waters. Born 18 minutes after waters being broken in hospital.

oh god sh only for you could I read this thread to the end!
Hope it's what you want!xx

so glad I did not grab that pork pie

hee hee - it's a bit grim isn't it. I treid discussing it with dh but the words discharge, gunk, blood etc etc etc all made him screw his face up.

The only useful reply I got was that there was no way he would be having sex tonight.

mm, you could try enticing him with 'aspic'?
I never had one before, so await with interest!

dd - thin mucus streaked with blood over about 2 hours and when in the throes of full on contractions.

ds - no show whatsoever

Goof luvk

whats aspic?
