The discharge of the blood-tinged mucous plug. A gelatinous "cork" of mucus seals the opening of the uterus during pregnancy. As the cervix effaces and dilates before and during labor, blood vessels frequently rupture, tinting the vaginal mucus pink or streaking it with blood. This show usually means that labor will start anywhere between twenty-four hours and several days away. See mucous plug.
A vaginal discharge consisting of blood and mucous. It begins in early labor as the cervix begins to dilate in preparation for birth.

Vaginal discharge that originates in the cervix and consists of blood and mucus; increases as the cervix dilates during labor.
As dilation of the cervix occurs, there will be a discharge of blood or pink tinged mucous from the vagina (caused by capillary breakage). If you are contracting regularly and a "bloody show" occurs, this is a fairly reliable indicator that labor has begun.
A "show" or "bloody show" is the discharge of mucus tinged with blood that results from the mucus plug dislodging from the cervix as labour approaches.
A light reddish or brown colored mucus that is released from the cervical area. This is just a sign of labor preparation.

Bloody show is the passage of a small amount of blood or blood-tinged mucus through the vagina near the end of pregnancy. It can occur just before labor or in early labor as the cervix changes shape, freeing mucus and blood that occupied the cervical glands or cervical os. Bloody show is a relatively common feature of pregnancy, and it does not signify increased risk to the mother or baby.
