Yes, they will ask you to describe it.... Oooh how exciting.

Unless your having any pain id just wait and call your mw in the morning and see what she says hun,

I cant believe its alsmot that time for you

Well, I had first bit of it (what I think is my show anyway) on Friday and I thought I was going to go into labour.. but then it stopped, then i've had a bit of it off and on and been feeling a bit sore down there etc, bit crampy round my sides etc.. Mia wasn't moving earlier but shes had a little wriggle now, so I feel happy that shes ok.. but feel like a bit of a twit to ring yet i've been reading in my books to ring if I have a show etc.

With Bethanie it was very clear what was happening, but this time is diff

& I know, this pregnancy has gone sooo quickly

Yeah, I think you are safe enough to just mention it to your midwife - you can get show for a while before anything actually kicks off. Its a good sign things are moving along though! x

Keep an eye on it hun, you know what to look out for, id wait until the morning unless anything happens during the night.

Is it normal to have bleeding over a few days then? it's pink, not bright red or anything major..?

Thanks girls - I feel like I should be an expert, i've been through this stuff before.. but I feel just as unsure!!
