This is my 2nd pregnancy, and with my first son I didn't loose my plug, so I was wondering is all mucous plugs bloody or can it be just a lot of mucous?
People seem to think the mucus plug and bloody show are the same thing. It is NOT the same thing...you will know the difference when you see it lol. I should've taken pictures of both of mine lol
@captivated and @CristinaLynn how do you know the difference? I know apparently one is with mucous and one is with blood, but like I said I never had any of this with my first pregnancy.
Mucus plug is very snot looking. It's slimy and sometimes thick. It can be tinged with blood. Pink or red. The bloody show is mostly all blood. It looks like a blob of strawberry jelly lol. You can lose your mucus plug and still not be anywhere near labor and birth. But if you lose your bloody show labor is in the next 24 hours indefinitely.

A bloody show is bright red and pink and often indicates imminent labor.
