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".

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! :)

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...

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!

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...

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!!!

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.
