How long after...

[Simoneh00]

your bloody show did labour start?
I had some stringy / clotty type blood when i wiped on the early hours of saturday morning. Been having very mild period pains on and off since. Just wondered how long after this everyone had some serious baby action???

Got my pram delivered and hospital bag packed so I feel prepared

no idea but sounds like its starting!!!!! Woot lady you might just come in first on t'other thread!

Well I lost bits of plug for a week or so before which was snotty/stringy and tinged with blood. The morning my waters went last time, I went off for a shower (about 30mins after they went) and when I went to the loo before getting in I had a wee and wiped and it was a proper bloody show - mucusy and fresh bright red blood ..... my contractions started later that day.

With my little girl I had a great big show with lots of blood on the Saturday night and 48 hours later I. Was in early labour

Hmm... I'm confused cause it wasn't a huge amount and it was bright red and fresh with some general little clotty bits. Then I had nothing else, slept with a pad on and nothing!!! Only thing since has been crampy feelings, loose bowels (sorry tmi) and increased watery discharge.
My gran (whose had 4 labours all natural) said I had "the look" and wouldn't be long
Plus my nesting instinct is in over drive again

I was a week after show with first - but 48 hours with second and third - sounds like it won't be long hun - make sure you rest when you can xxxx

 

[Simoneh00]

I can't rest
Something inside just keeps going oh do this, do that, remember that needs done!!! But I quite enjoy it I get bored easily so like having stuff to do.
And right now I'm constantly hungry. I tidy or clean something then stop for a snack and usually have a nosey on here

i am the same tonight, am overly happy that i have nearly finished all the washing and thinking about getting the hoover out which is totally irrational at 2am!

Feels good though, feels like i am getting organised

 

[Simoneh00]

I hate it when I wanna hoover and it's too late. My neighbours are total noise nazis Eva went through a stage of kicking the wall through the bars of her cot and they were at the door every morning complaining even though I had explained. I sometimes do washings really late to pee them off

 

[Dragonfly Fi]

we are fortunate to live in a old house with thick walls so we dont get any grief from the neighbours or hear them at all
which is a godsend because we live next to a crazy lady who plays the very worst music early in the morning and gets up at 4am every day!

 

[Simoneh00]

Eek! I know my dogs are a pain in the ass and sometimes wish I had a house with really thick walls.

I'm assuming you're a night owl like me? I get really really tired around 5pm then I'm wide awake all night lol
