Pink tinged mucus...is that "bloody show?"

[othersomethings]

Yeah, so that is happening. Not a ton, but enough to be there on a pad, when I wipe, and occasionally feel "drippy." I don't know what it means exactly...with my first labor I woke up one morning thinking I'd peed myself - then realized my water had broken, and in the process there was mucus and some blood. 

This is different, since obviously no water breaking or actual blood. 

Braxton hicks have been pretty frequent and a little stronger than normal, but otherwise nothing I'd consider "labor-ish" so I don't think THIS IS IT or anything. But I just don't know what it means.

Opinions? I'm between 37 and 38 wks, btw. And it is a full moon...hm.

ha @ full moon. You know what that means!! hehe

I think it's bloody show, or else part of your mucous plug? Either way, it's something indicating labor is on it's way, though it doesn't necessarily mean with in the next day or so. But, it's a great sign! Keep us posted!

ETA: according to babycenter:

You pass your mucus plug or notice "bloody show."
You may pass your mucus plug — the small amount of thickened mucus that has sealed your cervical canal during the last nine months — if your cervix begins to dilate as you get close to labor.

The plug may come out in a lump or as increased vaginal discharge over the course of several days. The mucus may be tinged with brown, pink, or red blood, which is why it's referred to as "bloody show." Having sex or a vaginal exam can also disturb your mucus plug and cause you to see some blood-tinged discharge, even when labor isn't going to start in the next few days.

it has definitely upgraded to bloody show, lots more mucus and blood. 

Contractions have been irregular since just after I posted last night...going to go walk, and see if we can get things more organized and regular.
