- A bloody show can indicate that labor may start soon, but it does not specify that labor will begin within 2 days, making this statement inaccurate.- Uterine contractions that do not radiate to the back are not specifically a sign of true labor; true labor contractions often do radiate to the back.- The expulsion of a mucus plug (often referred to as the "bloody show") indicates cervical changes but does not necessarily mean the baby has dropped into the pelvis.
