Q: Bloody Show.

Today at work I went to the bathroom and wiped and noticed thick mucousy bloody stuff ... a lot of it. So I called the maternity ward at my hospital and they asked me a ton of questions and then finally said they thought I was having "bloody show" and that it had something to do with my plug something ( I was a little frazzled and panicing so I wasn't hearing everything right i'm sure) that i'd be ok , and It wasn't necessary for me to get a rg shot (I'm rh- ) . They said to just take it easy and if my water breaks or things get worse
to call them and then come in.
Now I was just wondering what having bloody show means?
Is it an early sign of labour or is it just something the body does in the last few weeks? Maybe I'm dumb for not knowing these things but this is my first time around and im curious as to whats going on.

Hun, it sounds like you lost your mucus plug. That's a good thing! It just means your body is getting closer and closer to going into labor! 
.when you're pregnant, your cervix gets "plugged" with mucus to prevent infection and such (hence the "mucus plug"), and when your cervix starts to change the closer you get to your due date, the plug comes out. How far along are you again?

35 weeks is a little early for labor. They might try to stop it if you start having contractions, or they might do a test to see if the baby's lungs are mature.
Your mucus plug will grow back if you don't go into labor try not to worry. They would have told you to go to the hospital if they were concerned.
