How long after a 'show' did your labour start?

[scaredbuthappy]

Im desparate for my labour to start im 10 days overdue now. Im booked in to be induced tommorow which im scared about but i had a show yesterday and a little this morning aswell. Does this mean i could go into labour soon or am i getting my hopes up? Do you think its worth putting off the induction for a few days, although midwife says if i did that i would have to go to hospital everyday for a trace on the baby/baby's heartbeat??(not too sure what all that means)
Im really confused im scared about being induced but if she doesnt come by the weekend i will have to be induced anyway so not sure if its worth waiting around or getting it over with
Does the show mean labour is just around the corner? I really hope so

Had mine while in labour after an internal although i lost bits in the weeks leading up but nothing like proper show.

I had mine properly start the day before my contractions started..

Think mine was 1-2 days after the proper show. I had little shows in the week before but nothing like the real thing

I had my show over a few days, then a sweep on the Wednesday, I went into labour on \friday and had her on Monday.

A trace is where they strap a doppler like thing on your tummy to listen to baby's heartbeat continuously for a little while. It is non-invasive and doesn't hurt.
