Describe your show...

[MarathonMama]

I have had a lot of mucusy discharge this morning. It's not blood tinged but it is very thick and jelly like. Could this be my show? I'm 9 days overdue (urrrgh) and had a sweep as well as DTD with DH yesterday. The midwife said my cervix was high and hard so labour was unlikely to start yet, so I wondered if it was just something leftover from DH (for want of a better way of putting it!)

What was your show like and how long after did you go into labour?

I lost some mucus 5 days ago....no movement since. It was like I'd coughed it up to be honest - no blood, just lots of clear sticky stuff and a chunk of thicker jelly like stuff. I know plenty of people who say they never noticed a show at all...so I don't think it means much! Nothing seems to when it comes to 'when am I ACTUALLY going to have this baby'....:(

custard with raspberry jam.
about a tablespoon.

birth started about 3 days after.

bloody snot

long and clear and gluey. Not blood tinged at all.

Labour - not till a few days later. Sorry. And good luck!

Clear jelly like goop. And quite a lot of it.

My waters went 6 days later (at 38+1), baby arrived at 38+4.

Like a big ol' sneeze in my gusset. But it didn't appear till I was in labour all 3 times.

Mine sounds identical to yours OP. had some about a month ago, then more a few weeks, and now more again and I am 40+1

Big lot of gloop with a brown bit in it since then lots of clear stuff! 39+5

I had clear snotty stuff on and off throughout pregnancy. My actual show was like very bloody with a few little clots in it. And there was loads of it. Had it checked at the hospital. Perfectly normal as long as it's mucusy apparently.

"Very bloody snot" - that should say. And I was in labour by that point.

both times it was the next day for me,
lets hope it is for youself so you dont have to be induced :)

If it was a show, 1 tsp of white/snottish coloured jelly. Very 'solid' lump that dropped out into the toilet bowl. Wasn't huge amount but far more than usual daily discharge in one go. At 35w.

Mine looked like a big poo. I had to drag the midwife into the toilet cubicle to point at it in the loo.

That was about 12.30am. DS1 appeared at 7.30pm

It sounds like your show. Very thick and jelly like. Mine didn't look like a DH leftover (!)
Mine was 2 weeks before due date, at due date my cervix was still hard and not ready, and I was induced 11 days after due date.

Sorry to say - it doesn't necessarily mean your time is up soon. although if you are 9 days over, I think its going to happen soon one way or another.
