POLL : How Long Between A Show And Labour????

[JARM]

Ok, am 40+1, just had a show.

I know it could mean nothing yet, but I want experiences of how long between a show and labour!

With DD2 it was 6hrs

I only had a show when I was in labour, but my friend had a show 3 days before she went into labour.

Looks like it won't be long before you get to meet your lo - how exciting!

Both times I didn't have a show until I was in active labour. So max of 4 hours before birth for me!

Good luck.

a few days with DD - maybe 3 or 4?

DD was just under 24 hours and ds was a day.

a few hours for me until contractions started - but then didn't reach "active" labour for another 2 days!

An hour from the show to the 1st contraction (regular contractions right from the start). Good luck - shouldn't be long now!

I've never seen my show. i have had 2 babies so far!

Good luck though

How are you today JARM?

14 hours.

hope it goes well

Well... went to midwife - it was the nice one again and I got a sweep!!! Im 2cm dilated, waters are "bulging" apparently but cervix is still posterior. She did say if I havent had this baby in the next 48hrs she would eat her hat, so that has given me a bit of a boost!

Am at my dads now, and will stay here until tomorrow night to see if things kick off, if nothing we will go home and wait it out some more.

Booked for another sweep on monday morning, but MW was adament that visit would be a post-birth visit not a sweep visit!

Oh how exciting!

Oh JARM, how exciting!

Never had a show with either boy before labour started.

thanks girls - i am getting a little TOO excited now though.... i will be severely depressed if nothing happens lol

Then the fun starts hunker - you need to be here almost 24/7 for BF advice!!!

Hope things happen for you really soon JARM!

Good luck JARM!!

just over 24hrs from the first part coming away (came away in chunks over the space of about 14hrs) to DS3 being born

48+ hours!!!!

go back to bed...
