Mucus plug / bloody show?

16 replies

This morning I had a green/brown discharge with bright red spot when I wiped after toilet. This followed by some brownish blood in the shower and I have since passed some bright red and pink when going to toilet. Can't tell if it was mucus or straight blood as came out in loo. I have a pad on and nothing is on there, just seems to be when go to toilet. Does this sound like a bloody show?

I called the midwife this morning and she said not to call back until waters break. Just a bit concerned I've been on/off bleeding throughout day - is this normal?

Call back.
If I didn't call until my waters break I would have had a baby about 10 minutes after I called.
I had bleeding with my second and they said to go straight in. All fine but should be checked.

If you've been bleeding all day I would call ASAP. Better be safe than sorry. Good luck.

I would call straight to the maternity suite instead of your midwife, they may tell you to come in.
I called with spotting at 40 + 4 they told me to come straight in and my waters broke on the way in the car, had my baby 2 hours later!

Good luck OP, fingers crossed for you.xx

Thanks ladies. Delivery suite said sounds like mucus plug and not to go in until waters break. Went for a walk and still no blood on pad but coming out pinkish in toilet and can see that it's mucus like - if that makes sense. If still like this tomorrow morning I'll call delivery suite again. X

It does sound like a show but bizarre advice not to go in until your waters break - dd2 was born in hers!
Good luck!

This happened to me all day on the Sunday, everytime I went to the toilet, there were specks of blood in the toilet after, I had a lot of Braxton Hicks too. I went into labour early hours of Monday morning and DD arrived five hours later.

So my waters broke at 1.30am on the weds morning. Had my gorgeous little chap at 4.07pm. Thanks everyone for your advice. Smile

I had a show and the midwife in hospital had to break my waters; which I remember being a long time after the show happened.
