Hi, I'm a newish Mumsnetter (have been lurking on the board for a few weeks.)

I'm at 40+5 (official due date was 25th April) and have been lucky enough to have had a very healthy pregnancy.
I haven't really had any signs of labour yet, the m/w says the head's definitely engaged, and that the baby is 'well cooked', and on Saturday morning I did have some crampy pain for a couple of hours, but that went, and nothing since.

This morning, when I went to the loo, I had what I am convinced is a show, but there was absolutely no 'blood' there at all - in all of the preggy books, they call it the 'bloody show' and say it will be pink, red or brownish. Do you think it was? And how long do you think it will be till D-day?

Thanks

Vik

Hi Vik, I had a non-bloody show with my first and was in labour later that day so this could be it! Keep us posted How exciting!

eek! A lot of the books say it could mean labour's a few hours to a couple of days away, but as I'm overdue, I thought it might be close. You'd think they might mention it may not be at all bloody though, wouldn't you?

Thanks for the reply - will let you know!
