Bloody show

[Hopehope20]

Hi! Just had a bloody show at 38+5. If you had/noticed one...how long after did your labour start?

My waters broke 24 hrs later, then labour started about 18/19 hrs later. Very best of luck

Within 48 hours with both

Oh blimey...quicker than I thought! Suddenly feel very under prepared!

Mine started on Thursday, I’m still loosing it today. I’ve been having contractions for the last three days but as yet no bloody baby

Mine was when my contractions had already started, met baby within 12 hours.

Exciting times ahead!

Same as hodgeheg. Good luck OP!

Eeek thank you!!! No further signs yet so just playing the waiting game....x

I was within 36hr with both. It came in dribs and drabs over a day. Hope you’re not waiting long! It’s all exciting but try to rest and eat nutritious food.

Thank you! It feels so strange feeling that things might happen soon..after so many months of waiting. It's quite overwhelming thinking I could meet my little human soon!

Mine came out over 10 days in bits but I had the biggest chunk (sorry tmi) about 12 hours before labour properly started.
Exciting!

Mine was at 5.30am, DS was born at 1430pm! Good luck, how exciting xx

Within 2 days with dd1. Actually during labour with ds and dd2.

Any sign of baby op? Hope you’re doing well.

In hospital now. Contractions started last night....I am 4cm dilated and absolutely terrified!!!

Good luck!

Ooh wow! Oh try not to fear, your body is made for this and every contraction is a step closer to your little one. Birth is amazing. Hope it’s reasonably quick for you, let us know how it goes!

You will be absolutely fine please don't panic. Try to relax as this will be better for you during labour.

Just remember our bodies are made for this... trust your body and you'll be fine.

Good luck!!

Aw thank you so much everyone! My contractions started Sunday night and little Henry was born Monday night at 11pm. He was 6lb 4 and I am on awe of him! Very sore today and struggling with getting him to feed...but keeping at it. Here is my little man...

Congratulations! He is lovely xxx

Oh look! Hello Henry. He is beautiful. Well done you.

He's gorgeous! Look at all of that hair. Take time to rest (as much as is possible!) and if you want to breastfeed, I really recommend going to a support group if there is one near you. My local one was really friendly and supportive (and was in a cafe so included tea and cake!) x x

Aww, he's lovely. Congrats OP!

Thank you everyone! Yes wanting to breast feed...struggling with producing enough of the stuff that you have before your milk comes in! I am sure it will be ok.
