Bloody show - how long now?

DC4 due next Monday - officially!
Had a pinky smear of mucus when I wiped last night, then some with traces of blood in (sorry if TMI), I haven't had a show before so am unsure what is a realistictimescale to expect from here.
I've had a few twinges overnight and today but nothing I could time, or that stopped me in my tracks, have sent DH to work and done the morning school run as usual - AIBU to hope baby will crawl out once its older siblings are asleep this evening? Booked for HB as all the others have been

Experience from people who know about shows please :)

don't know about shows as never had one, but pom poms on standby for you :)

Thanks Edless, hope they'll be needed soon Grin
Hate the waiting bit, want to get on with it now! (but ideally once DC are asleep - I'm not fussy!)

Had some blood after a sweep on a Thursday, big show the next day and it continued sporadically until I was induced 9 days later. From talking to my family and MIL when it happened them their labours started within 24hrs but in my case it never did. Hopefully you will have better luck!

Baby girl arrived at 1911 last night, so not quite 24hrs after show :)
She was pretty quick and I now feel like someone has driven a bus between my legs, but she's very cute
