That looks like a show to me.

It's normal for the mucus plug to have blood in it. Have you been having any symptoms of labour?

Bex101990 · 28/01/2025 18:07

Yes looks like mucus plug to me. Are you able to show this pic to your midwife? Are you having any pains too to indicate labour?

Mama05070704 · 28/01/2025 18:28

I’m a midwife. This is a bloody show and completely normal.

Ooh this is an exciting development and very normal!
I think you’re not supposed to have a bath once you’ve lost the mucus plug so avoid that but keep moving if you can 😊

You’re fine to have a bath 😊

Hiya, thank you all for replies. I've had reduced movements so came up to assessment unit they have confirmed it's my plug but have kept me in due to sleepy baby on monitor. Hopefully things are starting slowly 🤞
