Did you have a 'show'?

[dabihp]

If so, when?

Am 37 weeks, didnt have one with dd last pregnancy, so not sure what to expect, or when to expect it, but am havign strong braxton hicks (def not contractions though, doh...)

When did u have one, when did labour start?

i had one with my 2nd pregnancy 12hrs before they were delivered (twins)

Yes I did with my ds . He was 2 weeks early and I woke up at 5am with a show. My mum told me to go back to bed as it was almost unheard of for a first baby to be early. Ds arrived the next day He is 7 now!

I had a show the day after I had a membrane sweep with my 4th. Had him 4 days later.

Didn't have a show at all. Waters broke at the start of labour and no show. I have no idea what happened to it. I'm absent-minded, but I'd been looking forward to it (I'm odd...!) and I still feel cheated...

As I understand it you can loose your plug/show days before with a 1st baby but usually the delay isn't so long between show and labour with a 2nd baby.
I had both my shows in labour.

Nothing at all, VB, in the weeks before DS was born.

Yes when I was 6cm dilated! I remember thinking, oh a show, about time too, as I doubled over with the next contraction.....

I had one at 38 weekson friday. I went into hosp as I had braxton hicks and wasnt sure if I was in labour or not. Told it could be early labour but as Id has sex the night before they said it could have caused a show. Labour started on the following wednesday.

I only had a show once, with the third of my four babies. It happened twice, once the night before and once in the morning that dd was born - she came along in the evening.

I've only ever had a show with my 3rd. It appeared the day I woke up to be induced! I had dilated a little when they examined me but they induced me anyway and I went from 3 to 8 com in about 40mins! Unfortunately I then had to wait about 6 hrs because she was a face presentation and we had to take it slowly - the epidural was lovely though! I am a convert.

hi,i had a show at the start of my labour and the mw had to break my waters for me 1 hour later, my daughter was born 6 hours later

I had a few. I thought I might have had one at about 36 weeks I think. Went to ante natal day and learnt all about them at 37 weeks, that they can happen up to a couple of weeks before labour, decided I must have got it wrong. Also was a bit suspicious when she talked about the bowel movements, I was going about 5 times a day at that point! Wasn't wrong though, DS arrived the next week!

I had one all day with DS2 from getting up (about 7am) He was born at 11.10pm. Contractions didn't start until 9pm though.

none with either of mine

yes. was like a cross between eggwhite and light period (sorry for tmi) and went into labour that night.

Message withdrawn

Yes - 2nd pg. Show at noon, contractions at 7pm, baby born 3.40am.

Good luck

yes i did, AFTER my waters popped! work that one out

I had show 3 days before I went into labour, looks jellyish and light pink. I was told it doesnt always mean onset of labour.

No. 3 children and no show. Waters only popped 5 mins before born too.

I had mine 2 days before child birth along with braxton that merged into real contractions.

I had mine 3 weeks (38 weeks) before I was induced. It was like a tennis ball size of very hard / sticky / bloody snot. I was amazed by it, it was huge!

Yes with both pregnancies. I was in established labour both times and on the labour ward.

No show or Braxton Hicks with either of mine 🤷‍♀️
