Had a show....any advice?

[SarahJJ]

I had show this morning at about 8. Went into hospital and they monitored me and gave me an internal and they have sent me home to sit it out. had a few mild contractions so far but just waiting really. Wanted to ask you ladies those who have had a show as a first sign of labour, how long after did things really start to happen? Had 2 babies before but not starting with a show. Any stories will be greatly appreciated thanks.

I've been told a show can come up to two weeks before LO arrives.
I hope that's not the case though and you'll go into labour soon.
Have your waters broken yet?

 

[SarahJJ]

No, not yet. they checked for that and all intact. its a bit scary but i just want things to move!!

i was told by mw that they arent really bothered about a show as it can be 3 weeks before labour starts.

its positive you have been having mild contractions too tho. hope this is it for you hun

HI

Tia was my third baby and she started with a show.

I just had a big blob of jelly and then twinges on and of for ages, but because both my boys were quick they said to go in and the would check me.

When i got there i was 1cm dilated and twinges didnt hurt and werent being picked up on the monitor so i had to stay and wait.

I was due to be induced the following morning so as nothing had really happened they started me of at half 6 and i had her at half 8.

The moral of my long winded explanation sorry, is that i had started to do things on my own and when it happened it happened quick.

Sounds to me like you are going to start very very soon hun, best of luck and lots of labour dust for you
