Bloody show?

Hi, i feel embarrassed but confused whether this is discharge or bloody show?
I am 34 weeks pregnant.
My last baby came at 37 weeks so I'm worried about preterm labour!
1st image not sure if it's more tan or light brown and then there was a tiny bit of blood steak

Sorry for the possibly tmi question @DBA - what was the consistency like? I had a show on the 17th (although it wasn’t a bloody one) and it wasn’t the texture of discharge at all. It was like thick jelly. Your pictures look more watery/discharge like? I would still speak to your midwife in the morning or maternity unit if it continues tonight to be on the safe side
I panicked too as was just shy of 35wk at the time and had gone into labour unexpectedly with dc1 at 37+2
I haven’t had any more since that one night thankfully. I’m 36+2 now

It was not sticky, was not watery but not super thick. It hasn't happened again over last 2 hours but normally it has been clear or yellowy in color not on the tan or brown color before the entire pregnsncy so caught my attention!

This is sort of what mine looked like, not that that is conclusive but it looked similar (I just had more of it). Have you contacted your midwives/delivery suite?

I would get this checked out based on the colour. Any possibility your waters are trickling?

I told my midwife verbally, she said my cervix could be changing leading to a bit of blood in my discharge, she said it was normal! Had more stuff come out today all at once,
