MY SISTERS HAD A SHOW!! EKKKK! DOES IT MEAN SHE WILL POP SOON??

[kittylette]

My mums just ran and sis has had a show just now, shes 40+1

She wants a home birth and we have all been panicking that she will go too far over (like most of the women in our family have) and end up with a hospital induction.

Shes been having strong BH everynight for about a week and yester day had tightenings at the bottom of bump and also pains in her thighs,

ooooh i hope this is it!!! What do you think??

i feel like im gonna cry!!

dunno, but fingers crossed.

sounds like she might be about to...my sister is nearly there and I think I will cry too!

It could be it, i had a show & started my labour from there onwards had ds 16hrs later, other people how ever can have shows & then it stops so fingers crossed

I had a show and gave birth within 48 hours... exciting stuff x

God Im sooo excited, im going to go to bed at 7 with the kids in case this IS it,

i feel so emotional, ever more than when I was about to give birth myself,

shes my little sister and shes about to become a mummy!!

anyone else had a show & popped soon after?

I had a show and delivered the baby 3 hours later.

I had a show and delivered that evening!
Hope all goes well for your sis.

I had a "show" 22 hours before labour started (gave birth 28 hours after the "show") fingers crossed for you and your sister!

i had a show and had dd about 35 hours later

thanks girls

weve been for a bumpy car ride to pick up a birthing ball and shes had a jump on the trampoline (!!!) lol

Shes had some tightenings since he show at 6pmish but im not sure if tonight will be the night,

will have to just wait & see!

We brought DS's a trampoline for easter and I asked my doctor weather I could go on it, she said no way not even to bring on labour as it's been know to cause "Placental abruption" just thought you should know!

well just got home & shes had another show and shes having pains every 20 minutes!!

im off to bed & hopefully ill get a call later on to go round!

dont think anyones interested but ill keep updating anyway ...

she was having pains every 20 mins and had a 2nd show so i went to bed and there was no phone call during the night so i assume they died down,

she has an appointment at the midwives today so im trying to convince her to get a sweep, but she doesnt want one. Not for any moral resons she just doesnt like being examined,

but hopefully i can convince her

any news kitty???

hi,

just spoken to her and she had more show at 6am
& 9 am,

shes going to the midwives at 2pm & gas & air is being delivered at 11 just in case

i think shes going to have a sweep but the main reason she is reluctant to have one is that its our Grans birthday tomorrow and she doesnt want to have him on her birthday!

we will just have to see!

any news kitty???

I had a huge show on the Monday and didnt have my ds till the Sunday, was in limbo all week and kept losing my show all the way through.

I was so certain this was it! on the Monday and it was very long and drawn out, have a search in child birth for my name, was a huge thread lol.

oh i know it may not mean its 'all go' but its a step in the right direction isnt it?

combine that with the pains shes been having for the last 3 or so days and the fact she may have a sweep today im keeping pretty hopeful

im just relived in a way as its kind of taken the pressure off for a bit, like something is actully happening now - she feels better for that, rather than nothing going on IYKWIM
