I wonder why some people get a show and others don't? Anyone know?

For that matter, why would one woman have a show in one pg, but not in her other 2/3 pg's?
Weird isn't it?

Maybe it comes away in bits rather than a big glop

My MW said that sometimes the plug doesn't come out until the waters break - or even until the delivery - in which case I'm guessing it doesn't really get noticed.

Really? Thanks for that Mrs TM.

Well my waters never go on their own, so that maybe why I've never seen it in 2 pg's.
I had a bloody show for my 3rd pg, but was 4cm dilated at this point a couple of days before he arrived.

"Big Glop", lovely!
I didn't have a show with either of my boys, but did have to have my waters broken both times
