Bloody show and labor?

I am 38 weeks 3 days pregnant with my 2nd baby. This morning I woke up and noticed some pinkish/brownish discharged mixed with a lil mucus. With my son, I never had any bloody show until I was in active labor dilatd 7cm at hospital and water had broken, so this is kinda new for me.

About 10 days ago my midwife had told me I was 2-3cm dilated, 80% effaced, and babies head was engaged. The past several days I had lots of braxton hicks about 10 minutes apart for 2-3 hours but then they always stopped.

So my question is, is what I had the "bloody show". It wasn't really all that "bloody". And if you had that show, when did your labor start? I am reading online labor could be hours or days away and sometimes weeks even. I had my son at 39 weeks, so I am hoping baby comes soon! Oh, and still no consistent contractions, since this morning I may have had like 3-4.

    When I was pregnant with my daughter I had a show on the morning of the day she eventually arrived, albeit, 2 weeks late! But with my son I had a show the day before he arrived, I always thought that when you have a show it means that labour is imminent. not sure if that was any help. good luck!
