Is this the "show"?

Yesterday I felt like discharge going down. I felt it again after like 3 minutes and again.. then it stopped. The colour was white not pinkish I never had this amount of discharge once in a go. I was scared that my waters were about to break but they didn't. Could this be the show? after how long having the show could I go into labour? I'm due 13th Feb but my OB said I won't make it till that date as my tummy is "hard".

Answer:
You lost your mucus plug! Congratulations...It could be anywhere from right now to a few weeks from now. I had someone tell me it would be a matter of hours, or maybe a day...NOT TRUE. I lost my mucus plug about 2 weeks before I had my first baby. Fortunately for you, it's getting close! Good Luck! :)
My first pregnancy I lost the mucous plug and is was goopy and whitish yellow. It took me about 2 days of passing bits here and there. With my others it was slightly pink. I went into labor about a week later. Best wishes!
it sounds like it could be

when my "show" went i was on the loo just after my waters broke but it depends you may be going in to labour as your tummy is hard...dont panic though its ok ..i was 2 and a half weeks early for both my boys and they are fine one is 14 and the other is 7 now so just take it easy and if you feel like to need to go to the loo then just keep an eye on things...
Sounds like you lost your mucus plug. That can happen anywhere from a couple of weeks before you go into labor to a few minutes before.

With my daughter (now 6 years old), I lost it 5 weeks before I went into labor at 38 1/2 weeks, but haven't lost it yet with this one (35 1/2 weeks).

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine. Believe me, you KOW when you're in labor for sure!
Nope doesn't look like "the show". the discharge in that case with definitely be pinkish brown, and even after that happes, technically put - after the mucous plug comes out, you still might not deliver for another 2 weeks after that.
From all my reading, the "show" is actually a "bloody show." meaning: you bleed. I didn't have my bloody show until I was 5 hours into labor, got up from the hospital bed to walk to the bathroom, and realized I was bleeding the entire way.

It sounds like what you had was your mucous plug. the mucous plug literally looks like a giant wad of rubber cement glue. sometimes it can be twinged with blood--but mine wasn't. Unfortunately, losing your mucous plug isn't a clear indication on when labor will start. They say it can happen anytime within the next 2 weeks! With me, I lost my mucous plug on Tuesday, went into labor on Thursday morning, and had a baby by Thursday night.

Hang in there! The waiting game is hard to play...
