TMI ALERT

After sex with DH last night, i went to the loo and there was pinky stuff on the paper.... is this likely to have been a show or just DH being a bit rough?!

Was still abit more there about 30 mins later, but nothing this morning.

Wouldnt say there was masses of the stuff, just enough that i could see it was stringy and pink.

Sorry - TMI i know, but ive never had a show and dont know if it was it or not!

Don't want to get your hopes up but sounds like a show to me. I had a show after having sex when I was pregnant with my ds and labour started shortly afterwards.

Found this on Baby Centre - "You may notice the appearance of a bloody show (a brownish or blood-tinged mucus discharge). If you pass the mucus plug that blocks the cervix, labour could be imminent ? or it could be several days away. Still, it's a sign that things are moving along."

Good luck.

yes it sounds like a show
fingers crossed....

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 17/10/2005 10:51

Thanks girls.... im just not sure. My vision of a show was LOADS of pinky gunky stuff, but this was just while i wiped.

As long as things are moving, im happy!

but you can have a show ages before you go into labour...sorry...my consultant was untterly uninterested in the fact that I had had a show when I had my overdue appointment...

but hope thats not the case for you!

buffytheharpsichordcarrier · 17/10/2005 10:51

LOADS??? how big do you think your cervix IS??

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 17/10/2005 10:53

ok ok, but ive not done this bit before!!!

DH had a bit of a panic last night when he wiped himself up and found pinky stuff.... bless his heart!

I had a show last time about 30 mins after my waters broke, it was very link pink and gloppy.

Sometimes after sex I have a bit of bleeding but thats red blood completely different.

Sounds like a show to me too (although don't get your hopes up)

Enid · 17/10/2005 10:59

if its any help...my show was definitely a gunky, thick lump with pink streaks
TMI

sweetkitty · 17/10/2005 10:59

meant it was very light pink (my brain seriously isn't working today)

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 17/10/2005 11:00

Whenever dp & I have sex, its always in the spoons position with him behind me (ha ha obviously!!) Anyway, in that position, my perineum gets rubbed & it always bleeds afterwards. Today, it looked slightly pink on the loo paper when I had a pee. Nothing jelly- like, just a pinky tinge. Was that way TMI??
