How soon after your show did your labour start?? Impatient GCG here!

[goodcatholicgirl]

Had my show at 9am this morning. No symptoms since other than the usual braxton hicks etc, nothing feels different. I am 39+3. ( was a week early with DD if that means anything).

Initially this morning I got excited that this should mean not long to wait now, and I assumed it would be a matter of 2-3 days at the most. However, I have been surfing the net and been reading that it doesn't actually mean that much, and that it could still be WEEKS before anything happens .

So I was just wondering, as a general enquiry, how soon did people go into labour after their shows????

Thanks

With DD my show was around 6.30am and she was born at 9.30pm. I think it was the same day, we were back and forth!

Don't remember having a show with DS2.

They started inducing me 11 days overdue. At 3.00 pm I had my show, waters broke within half an hour and then labour started about 5.00ish

within a few hours here

ds - show about 11am, contractions kicked off about 2pm, born about 5pm

dd - show about 11pm, contractions kicked off about 1am, born 3.40am ish

Good luck!

OK, that's sounding a bit more promising thanks.
