HAS MY DD HAD A SHOW???

[ilovesprouts]

my dd has been in the bath and she thought she neederd the loo she felt somthing come out and she looked in the loo and said it was a long bit of jelly stuff we blood in it ,do we need to fone anyone or just sit and wait

how many weeks is she>

Just sit and wait, I would think! How far on is she?

It sounds like it! She was having pains earlier on in the week wasn't she?

Best wishes to you and your dd.

36+1

tdh yes she was

Yes it does sound like a show - but don't get too excited, you can have a show weeks before the birth I am afraid!

Still at least it shows that SOMETHING is happening.

As she is a bit early I would ring the midwife just in case they want to monitor her.

at 36 + 1 it is a bit early, but you can lose your show weeks before labour and not until labour is established sometimes... it does reform if lost earlier on

in the absence of pains at the moment, i don't think you need to do anything, but if pains start, or she loses more water or more bloody show, i would call labour ward for sure

at the moment, she has probably had a show, but without other signs of labour, it is not that significant, IFYSWIM

you can call laobour ward, but i imagine she will be advised to do ntothing in the absence of pains etc

You can have a show quite a bit before labour begins but I know that your dd has been having pains before so you never know. Will look out for the announcement on our ante-natal thread
