Just as the title states really. Iv had a couple days of brown mucous, am 40+1

Iv googled it but not very informative!

Lots of women day it's clear or blood stained but wondered if anyone experienced a brown plug or show?

Hi Jenny, I haven't had a show before as was induced with my first baby.
My sis in law had a brown plug and baby came few hours later,it can be a couple of days but sounds like you're going in the right direction x

Mine was whitish jelly-like with streaks of red and brown. Quite big blobs.

Can't remember how long after I went into labour - about a week or so, I think. But, I don't think it's a particularly accurate sign that labour is imminent (sorry!)

I had a sweep on the Monday started to lose plug from tues in bits but was induced on the Saturday
