Mucus plug can either come out as chunks or a snot consistency like heavy discharge. If you notice it's tinged with brown, pink or red that is the bloody show.

Nope lol its mucus plug, then water breaks (induced or not) and then your bloody show is the real deal holy field LABOR! lol cute question. Mucus plug is just discharge n it can have a little blood but it really is just a heavy discharge. Its still good to contact a doctor for n e of these experiences. Im a ftm at 33wks. I only know what i know due to consistently being on here since finding out i was expecting.
