I'm Currently Feeling: | Mucus plus
It's generally something you lose before labour
Sometimes it can come out a month or so before though
I'm not an expert lol |

| Yeah its your mucus plug, or 'show'. You'll notice it in the lining of your knickers or when you go to the toilet, its just like snot really, its what protects the baby from infections and stuff.
It can come out a week or two before labour, or immediatley before labour. Everyones different. |

Had to laugh at your description  Sorry, but that's just gave me a visual but it's probably the best description, and now I even know.
My first pregnancy was induced with an emergency C-section after, and my second pregnancy was a planned C-section. I never had a "show." |
