Is mucus plug and bloody show the same thing?

[SIEGAL]

I thought they were? But I have been googling and I am getting different answers. I have some (not like that much) brown gooey stuff when I wipe for pretty much the whole day. I was reading mucus plus is mucusy and doesnt indicate labor but bloody show is red blood and indicates labor. But then again....most websites say they are the same thing? I am so confused.

Mucus plug, is just mucus. Bloody show, is just like the mucus plug, with strings of blood in it.
Sounds like you've had a bloody show (or could be old blood if you've had sex, or an internal exam in the last 48 hours).

hope that helps, lol

^^ what she says..
Losing your mucus plug doesn't mean labor will be near.
Having a bloody shows means labor is in the near future.
(i think)

Yep. I lost my plug a week ago. No signs of labor. But, with a bloody show, you'll more than likely go into labor in the next 72 hours (I base my information on various 'googled' sites )
