How long after show did you go into labour?

[Perpetuallypregnant]

Just interested as i'm 37+1 withh baby number 5 and ive been having bits of bloody snot coming away since Thursday night. I've never had a show before! But my first baby was induced slightly early and the subsequent ones all arrived at 40+6 so was really not expecting anything before my due date!

Im very crampy and bump feels so low tis going to fall out! Was having a few stronger contractions last night but nothing regular and nothing that made me think anything was happening.

Thanks

Mine was Monday and still waiting.....EDD was Tuesday.

Have been told it can be 2 weeks.

Good luck!

Had show on Thurs am, contractions started Thurs pm, didn't have baby til sat am!

Immediately.

10 minutes later! Well, my hindwaters went about 10 minutes later and with them labour came, and boy did it come.. the joys of precipitous labour!

Seven hours. I had a show in the morning and my waters went with a pop at 2pm.

Had show at 8am Saturday, Contractions started 1am Sunday, baby arrived 6 hours later.

Show was on a Monday (morning I think), labour started 4am on Wednesday morning, DD turned up 2:15pm Wednesday afternoon!

Good luck!

9 days.

Show was 12 hours before first contractions and about 48hours before my DD was born.

A day or two

about a day or two too.

Show on Saturday - Baby Tuesday afternoon! Was 41 weeks with 1st.

Hmm well im still here... Lost more over the weekend, getting random contractions now amd again plus low down period type pains but nothing major.

Dh is away tonight with work so really hoping nothing happens... Would be sodding typical though!

I only had a show with last one & contractions started immediately.

Doesn't sound like it will be long now

I was like that with DC4. Show on Monday, more on Weds, lots of niggles, random contractions etc.... Very stop-start. Finally had her on the Friday!
Be warned though, after a week of niggles, when things finally kicked off it moved very fast!!

Might be worth having a back up plan with ypur DH away!

Good luck xx

Mine was last Monday now, still nothing

What does a show actually mean anyone? I know it must be something to do with cervical movement but is it effacement/actual dilation/moving from posterior to anterior position?

its the mucus coming away from the cervix as it starts moving isn't it?

mine was 12 hours before first contractions and 5 days before ds was born

It is mucus coming away but I wondered whether it was a proof positive sign of dilation or whether the move from posterior facing would trigger it/effacement would loosen the mucus.

No idea, would be interested though!!

A week exactly

Didn't notice a show with either of mine.

I started losing my plug at 35 weeks but didn't have a bloody show until my waters went at 39+1.

Not until actually in labour.

Show on Friday morning. Baby born on Sunday morning!
