Was that a show I've just had????????????

[fannyannie]

I've just been to the loo (sorry TMI coming up LOL) and when I wiped there was a big 'lump' of jelly like mucus - wasn't brown or tinged with blood - more of a very milky weak tea/coffee colour.

I've been having lots of twinges this morning - infact was lying in bed this morning and had a few quite strong BH's.......timed the 1st 2 or 3 and they were 7 minutes apart - turned my back on the clock and played "guess the time of the next one" - and for about 1hr they were regular at every 7 minutes....

Now obviously it was a show I know it could still mean that labour is days (or even weeks) away....but I just wondered if it WAS a show.

sounds like a show to me.
with ds1 it was clear and streaked jelly, with ds2 it was white jelly.
with ds1 labour started soon after, with ds2 it kept coming for about a week.
You never really know tbh. The show is not a brilliant indicator.
But it does indicate things are gearing up!
How exciting!

Just realised that Lulu isn't here which means that this is not an 'official' labour thread.
Yet.

I'm feeling quite positive now about this birth - was 99.99% convinced that once again my body wouldn't even think about doing what it's supposed to do - but even these irregular twinges and having a show is more than it's managed before

(blimey can't be many women who get excited because they've had a show yet know it could be weeks before anything else happens LOL).

am here

labour may commence

yes, you've had a show!

And labour could be hours or days away...

OOOhhh how exciting! I am 38 + 4 and a little jealous!

LOL Sugar - don't worry if things do start 'hotting up' then I'll start a new one.....promised lulu a "OMG I THINK I'M IN LABOUR" thread title when it eventually happens

ROFLMAO@ lulu - x posts with your very dramatic entry (just hope DS3 doesn't decide to make an entry as dramatic as yours )

anyhow - the grill is now (very) hot given that I turned it on to warm up about 45 minutes ago and I'll be getting shouts of "We're hungry mum is dinner going to be long" if I don't get the sausages and chips on! (not to mention the hoovering which desperately needs doing LOL)

ooh the hoovering may help.....
helped me!

Thanks LadyOTF that is all the motivation I needed to start hovering MY house! Sigh.

you need chilli sauce on your sausage and chips!!

Oh Fannieannie - good luck, hope this is it for you! xx

hmmm sounds tempting actually - I do like spicy sauces - might be a good excuse to pop down the shop and get some

How exciting, I know nannyjo was the first Junie to have her baby, but she was induced early due to OC....you're the first to "go" as it were.

Have fun

Oh thank goodness,Lulu's here.
(I pinched cake from the other thread as things are very quiet over there just now.(only creaking rocking chairs,clacking knitting needles and cake munching)

probably all there's going to be on this thread too LOL.

I cheated - the DS's hoovered the lounge/diner (although I'll give it a quick once over again when they're in bed). DS2 (who's 3 1/2) wanted to do it - so DS1 showed him where the 'bits' were and he hoovered (but my eagle eyes have spotted a few bits they've missed). Don't want to upset them by re-doing chunks of it while they're still up so that's the job for 1 1/2hrs time (or earlier if I can persaude DS2 to go bed when DS1 goes LOL)

oooo that was a painful one - not very long but still made me stop what I was doing for a couple of seconds !

I told you we needed Lulu!

oh, this is DS3 , will practically fall out if you cough!!

breathe, there;s a dear !

ROFL !

How exciting! I hope you don't mind me hanging around for a bit, only its been one of those days and this is very good news.Try climbing the stairs a bit, I found that it helped. I wouldn't hoover though, you may need your strength.

blimey I think it's more fun being the person that's having the baby on these threads - just to see the reactions of everyone else .

I'm still totally blase about it tbh

PMSL@ lulu (again)

I wish - DS1 was a CS (after Niagara Falls and no contractions), DS2 was a nice trickling brook but ended up being induced 3 days later - and even then he had to be 'forceably' removed from my nether regions with the aid of ventouse
