I'd get yourself off to the hospital, just to be on the safe side. The show is also know as the 'plug' and its usually a thick jelly kind of goooooo. On the morning of my DDs birth my DH and I were bonking away for Britain and I thought I was bleeding to death :eek: . Shot off to the hospital and everything was fine. I was only a couple of days early and she was fine. Good luck. If its your first baby, everything seems scary. Big Hug

I had the same the day before DD was born. I felt something come away when I was in the bath ( I was having contractions) and there it was in the water:o :eek:

Ha ha, pretty rank innit? :rotfl:

Anyway, RDB, I should have also mentioned that my DS was born at 35 weeks (35+1 to be exact) and other than being a little bit on the small side compaired to DD (5lb12oz) he was fine. I did have some steroids for his lungs when I first went into hospital after my waters broke but I think that's fairly standard.

Sounds like a show. I had a show on 2 occasions before DS arrived the first one was 3 weeks and 1 days before he arrived and when he did arrive it was after 3 sweeps.
Definately check it out with your Midwife, but unless your having contractions or your waters have gone, i wouldn't worry about it too much.
The show just means your cervix is getting ready to start thinning and dilating.
Good luck.

:T very well put!

I had my first 'show' at about 37 weeks and didn't give birth until 42.
