35w+4 blood in panties

I'm 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant I go Thursday for my next dr appt. I found red clotty looking blood in my panties and started having cramps soon after but didn't last long. I've been told it could be my plug or bloody show. I'm not quite sure what bloody show is but I know about the mucus plug. I'm a ftm and was just wondering what the difference between the two were and how many experienced moms have had their baby not long after losing their plug. Thanks in advance ladies!

Your bloody show is just another term for the mucous plug. And it can regenerate or regrow. If the contractions come back and last longer than an hr and are 4-5 mins apart call ur Dr or l&d
