Mucus plug, blood show is it the same thing?

Question

I always thought they were two different events that would happen but my SIL says no they are the same thing.

Answer

Bloody show is when you have bloody (or rusty or sometime brownish red) discharge just before labor. It is actually the release of your mucus plug as your cervix gets irritated and bleeds a bit as it starts to dilate more rapidly. You can lose
mucus plug before this cervical change and it is just yellowish snot looking stuff. It can happen and regenerate multiple times in a pregnancy. It is not bloody show unless it’s bloody.

Answer

No, they are different. You can lose your mucus plug at any point and it can grow back and doesn't necessarily mean labor. A bloody show occurs later, like right before labor or when you're in early labor.

Answer

the bloody show is when you lose your mucus plug because it's tinged with blood
