About 8 weeks, would but serious money on you having your baby before 8 weeks though!

Good luck

2nd Labour the first contraction was a major one and thats when I had a show. Baby was born just under 4 hours later.

4 weeks before ... I had about 6 bloody shows over the next month - the final one was about 6 hours before I went into labour but by then I was convinced that I wasn't pregnant at all and just had a tummy full of mucus... I'm sure you'll go into labour much more quickly than that!
