How soon after BLOODY SHOW did you go into labor?

[alaysha]

Im not talking about thr mucus plug since ive been loosing that for weeks upon weeks but this morning I had what can only be described as the "bloody show" (tmi I know) where huge globs of bright red mucus came out after I felt like I needed to go #2. After this ive had back pain and light contractions and just now I went to the bathroom and again more of that bloody stuff came out. Ugh. I didnt get the "bloody show" until my water broke last time I was pregnant so im curious to know how soon after getting it people went into labor? Also I had a membrane sweep yesterday so could this just be a side effect and mean nothing? Tomorrow I will be 39 weeks.

I had mine about 4 hours AFTER my water broke...and then i obviously had the baby that day. Good luck! Ive never had a membrane sweep so i dont know if it could be because of that...

I had mine a few hours before I went into the hospital and delivered.

Sounds like what my sister had when she went into labor, she had it for Ike 3 hours then her water broke then 4 hours later she had the baby

I never had a bloody show but that was probably because I was induced!! Hope you go into labor soon!!!

It really sounds like just from the membrane sweep, the mucus blood is just the discharge if you are getting contractions i would say you might go into labour soon or the next couple days. But really it is hard to say. When they do the membrane sweep they irritate the cervix so that it starts to contract and you start to dilate. SO that is why you bleed.
