The 'show'

How long was it before people went into labour after having the 'show'?

With my last child it was 2 weeks, but this time mine has come away early. I'm 33 weeks and it's come away already which is making me nervous that baby may come early.

@okokokthen I had my show on Thursday night and went into labour on Saturday morning - I was 38+3. Just try and relax. Have you had any other tell tale signs?

No nothing else, other than being very achy in my pelvic area and sometimes struggling with moving about/getting up.

I lost my plug on the Monday before I gave birth on the Thursday (41+1). Didn't have a bloody show until I'd been examined in the hospital mid labour at 5cm.

Oh right, it's so different for everyone. Mine went a week ago today, I have been experiencing pains since yesterday and bad backache which seems to be constant once it starts then it'll stop for ages, and my heartburn has got much worse in the last two days too so I'm wondering if this could now be the start of anything or just Braxton hicks. Only time will tell! But at least I've made it closer to 35 weeks now. 😆
