I'm no doctor, but to me it sounds like you lost your mucus plug. It's definitely gross and according to the books, it is a sign that labor is coming...just no telling how soon. Your best bet is to check with your doctor, to see how effaced you are and how dilated you are. With my first child I lost my mucus plug, but never went into labor. Good luck!

you could use your mucus plug and still not have the baby until your due date--a friend of mine on a message board I belong to lost hers 3 months before she had her baby.
another friend lost her at 24 weeks and it 'grew' back.
she had her baby after her due date.
if the mucus plug coming out were a sure sign labor was about to happen-doctors would have you come in right away.
plus if you're 38 weeks- have you had a recent cervix exam? the doctor checking your cervix causes some of the mucus to come out as well.
bloody show & water breaking are the 2 things my doctor said to go straight to the hospital for.

Your body is getting ready that is just the mucus plug that comes out before you have to baby. You can loose that weeks from delivery of a couple days before just depends on your body and when baby is ready its a waiting game. Just no more tub bath because that is what protects from infection.

Thats the mucous plug coming out. Generally that means you will go into labor in the next week or so.
