Morning

Sorry guys for TMI this time of day but I’m confused

Been to the toilet this morning and had this come out.. I’m confused by the colour. Would you say this is just mucus or could it be my bloody show? It looks a brown colour instead of green-ish, which makes me think could it be mixed with blood?

If it is bloody show - do I ring midwife or anything? Or just wait for pains?

Thanks in advance ... FTM here and freaking out now haha.. Due tomorrow!

Looks 'showy' to me

BessieBye · 13/05/2021 09:34

‘Showy’ 🤣 haha thank you.. I went for a sweep yesterday, but she couldn’t reach baby’s head so didn’t actually perform it. She must’ve dislodged something.

Wow.. this is happening! Lol

That'll be why!
Exciting! Best of luck to you, you'll be having squishy newborn snuggles soon! 💖

I'd say that's the start of it, it can come away in bits, my contractions started two days after losing mine

BessieBye · 13/05/2021 09:53

Thank you @BonnyEm! I am so excited.. we don’t know what we’re having either so I’m EXTRA excited!

Thank you @Freshair85.. will keep an eye on it! I was just thinking I should’ve asked for peoples experiences on how long until Labour started after their show! So double thanks!

Yes that's your show. Don't get too excited though. Mine went on for five days Shock Good luck OP!

BessieBye · 13/05/2021 09:56

Thank you @legalseagull! Yeah I’ve now been reading online that can still take a good few days.
I’m just glad I’ve had some progress!! 😂

@BessieBye thank you! I'm due 3rd June, seems like ages away but its been a long HG pregnancy so looking forward to the end.

lol not me searching mumsnet for ‘bloody show’ advice and realising halfway down this is my post from 2021 😂

for reference anyone who stumbles across this - my labour didn’t start til early hours of the 21st May 2021! And she was born 22:30

i’m currently due my baby boy tomorrow and had a successful sweep today.. just had a similar ‘show’ to this picture.
