Im 41 wks today with my fourth pregnancy and Ive just had a show for the first time.

What are other peoples experiences of having a show and how long was it before you went in to labour? I think I might be quick as its my fourth but Im not too sure.

I had ds2 withing 24 hours after a bloody show. With me it just kept coming, until it turned bright red about 7 hours before he was born.

How exciting. I never had shows with any of my four so I can't specifically help but I did pop in to say all the very best of luck with the birth. I wonder if you'll give birth this year or next.

Had a small show the evening before both of mine were born - so about 24 hrs between show and birth. Good luck!

Hi, when I was expecting my 4th baby, I had a show at midnight and had him at noon, the pains started around 2 hours after the show, I hope your dh is quick at playing those songs! Good luck and hope everything goes well for you .

With my second child (1st labour) my show was at 6am ish and DD was born at 9.25pm.

My friend was 24 hours in labour with DS (no 1). She was only 6 with DD (no. 2).

Can someone take to you to hospital if needed?

Yes sister in next road and hubby only 30mins away. He works at a local hotel and has been giving one of the bar staff lessons on how to work his equipment should he need to leave in an emergency!
