Just an FYI - it doesn't have to be bloody, mine was exactly like yours. I thought it was just a one time deal that the whole thing had come out - but when I had gone to the hospital for delivery (the next day) I had went to the bathroom and wiped and there was more of the same. I told the L&D nurse about it and she had said it was just more of my plug....
Good luck!! I was 37 wks 5 days!

I'd bet that is your show. Mine was green. Eugh. Looked like a booger. Having a show doesn't always mean that labor is really close...but with the strong contractions you've had too - I think you're nearly there! Good luck, it's amazing!

Sounds like it could be since it kinda sound like what mine looked like which was bloody snot. If it is indeed your mucus plug it means your body is on its way... but it doesn't mean impeding labor since it can come out weeks a head of delivery. But a lot of people do seem to end up deliver sooner once they've seen it!
