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

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!
