39+5 and just had bloody show - how long might it be?!

[nikkisbump]

Please someone say soon! Is it likely I may go into labour this weekend? Only other signs - period pains and lots of downward pressure (resulting in lots of poos!) I'm ready for baby now... Fingers crossed!

Sorry I don't have more encouraging news, by with my last one, the show came a week before labour started. I was desperate to get one with things too, but despite loads of walking and sex I ended up going 10 days overdue.

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

how long is a piece of string . sorry, not helpful, but it really can be a matter of hours, or in my cases a matter of days (11, 10 and 9 days to be exact )

Period pains sound promising. I had a bit of a show a couple of days before my waters went, but actually what I thought was my show was nothing compared to the real thing that appeared in my pants when I was in the hospital it really is quite huge, so is it possible you've just had a bit of it?

Lots of poos also good! Didn't happen for me but I've heard a clearout is a good sign! Fingers crossed for you!

Go for a long walk.

Bugger! Thanks anyway I'm going to try not to get too excited!

Just to chip in with my experiences - I had a show at 9.30 am and he was born at 4.35pm!

Is this your first?

Yep this is my first! I've also got some lower back pain now too. Just feel a bit achey and 'out of sorts'. Not had any BH or teinges throughout the pregnancy so the show was a bit of a shock!

Twinges not teinges!

Fingers crossed it won't be long Backache, pressure are all good signs!

How many weeks are you?

slaps forehead sorry, must read thread title properly next time! 39+5, could be soon, good luck!

I had a show at 5am and she was born at 9.25pm.

Good luck .

Thanks for all your replies! I really hope this is it... Maternity leave is a little boring now!

Sounds promising. Am laughing at your comment about maternity leave being boring though - I felt exactly the same as you (think I left work a couple of weeks too early and went overdue too), but would love a bit of "maternity leave" these days .... from DS!

I know - I'll be regretting those words won't I! Haha

You are so lucky to have even a slight sign-I'm 40+1 and nothing, nadda, nowt.

Braxton hicks galore but had them since 33 weeks so no big change there.

I'm so hot and fed up-hope yours comes soon Nikkisbump!

Aww honeymoonmum, if it makes you feel better, I had absolutely nothing at until 12 today - not even one BH! I was convinced I'd be overdue. Been having contractions this afternoon which have just started building up a little so hopefully this is it! You will be on your way soon too! Good luck

I had a show on Tuesday morning, went into proper labour on Friday evening - it really is unpredictable! The only certainty is - at some point you will have a baby...

Good luck Nikkisbump!

OOh, I started a thread this morning about this. I am 40 wks today, and had a bloody show this morning.
Felt hung over and like I was gettin a cold aswell, and loads of pressure down there.
Have been a bit shakey and dropping things all day.
Lets hope we are on!!
I was well excited this morning, but have heard stories, that It could still take 2 weeks
Ive just had a curry, been active all day, and gonna have some rumpy pumpy in a bit

I guess no news is good news
