I have just been discharged from overnight observation at the hospital after a little bit of bleeding with a show, I am 33+5 days now. My other 3 babies came at 37 weeks.

They have said that I am not in labour and have given me steroids in case anything starts.

I know that this does not mean laborur is absolutetly imminient but thought I would ask you ladies how long after your "show" did your waters go and labour start?

Within a very short time with Ds(probably half an hour)and it all came away at once, but several weeks before labour with Dd, though I kept getting partial pieces of it with her.

I had what I assume was a 'show' last Wednesday morning. It was brown sticky discharge but no jelly plug (sorry tmi). I have had nothing since and am still waiting. I am 39 + 3. Hope something happens soon.

I had a show at 37 weeks, DS was born at 41 weeks, and my waters were broken by the midwife when i was about 9cm

DS1 - proper show - whole plug, clear streaked jelly, went into labour that night.

DS2 - no show as such, but thick white discharge for about a week before it all started.
