whats normal for a show??
had a sweep yesterday and my show has gone from stringy bloody to clear and all the way back again in the space of two days, also a bit watery when going to the toilet but not sure if my waters are leaking, just wondering what other people have had going on when they had their show

My very first one was clear with red streaks, the following 2 were always globs of white jelly that came away gradually. Am expecting the same this time.

Hopefully someone with similar to yours will be along soon.

Good luck.

How exiting! You must be thrilled! I had similar to yours, a bit of pink jelly then watery and clear than pinnkish and then back to a bit of jelly again. When I went into labour the midwife on call said that I must have been leaking water too because I had hardly any left. I hope your labour is a good one!

is there anyway of knowing if your waters are trickling, is there any way of checking?
when i got to the loo after i've had a pee and wiped theres still a bit of wetness (sorry tmi) but i'm not sure if its just more watery show or amniotic fluid

There is a test to see if it is your waters. Very simple for them to do. Go in and find out!
