I just been loo, and on my pad in a lil bit of brown and when I wiped it was quite mucusy(sp?) and had lil bits of browny looking stuff in it. Could this be the start of my show???
I have been feeling stuff..."come out" today(lol sorry tmi!) eeep Not getting too excited though, could be nothing lol ------------- |

could be. Just remember if you have brown waters you need to tell you MW immediately incase bubs has passed meconium.
Fingers crossed its all go for you! |

but not to dampen your spirits....some ladies still don't go into labour til a week or so after having a show........although with the cramps you've been having lately, you probably won't have to wait too long
so are we starting up the bets?? tuesday 7pd 4oz  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Oo Sheena I so hope it's a show! Mine was like that too. I had it only a couple of hours before going into full on labour (waters breaking, contractions etc). I wasn't sure at first if that was what it was, it's wasn't like a massive plug, just little bits.
I say Tuesday too. And 7pd 7oz  ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Ooo this is so exciting. I can't remember statistics but is something like 80% of women go into labour within 48 hours of having a bloody show.
I'm guessing Monday at 7am 7lb 4oz Good luck

Thanks
It was only a little one....does that count? I always thought the 'show" had to be a big glob of gooey stuff.... Thats why i thought this could just be the start of it... the day that i was having the strong BH I had a bit of icky mucus aswell...but it didnt have brown in it. ------------- |
Posted By: Rachael21
Date Posted: 31 May 2008 at 8:15pm
| No the difference between a show with no colour and a bloody one is that when theres blood its your cervix starting to dilate but no colour means things are just getting ready but could still be a while. But there are other reasons for blood as well. |

Sounds like what my show was like, I went into labour 4 days after mine. I say Wednesday (because no one else has picked that yet, I don't think!) and 7lb4oz.

BTW, I didn't have a show until Sam was about to be born and it all came at once. Oh, and the day before my waters broke I just felt icky and awful all day! My DH had actually commented that it was unlike me to be so grouchy, but I just remember being soooo uncomfortable!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah Ive been feeling increasingly icky since I started getting all those BH contractions the other day, and tonight Im feeling all flushed and blahhh, hard to explain lol.
Im trying not to get my hopes up that I'll have him before my due date, but its so hard with having all these niggles, plus with being in agony every night, half the time Im on my hands and knee's cos its the only position Im comfy in when the pain flare up and I just pray that I'll go into labour lol ------------- |

What if you got a massage? Would that make you feel any better I wonder? Do you think you've dropped at all? Something will happen soon, I hope you get some relief soon and can have a good nights sleep before he arrives. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Best not to get your hopes up, but Miss S came over a week early - so you never know
Edited to add - I know it sounds hard but do but try and relax and enjoy a last day or so of peace and quiet if you can. Even if it is just sitting down and watching a movie or something. I regret not getting to do that and always thinking it was ok because i had another week or so to have that relaxing day! I am still waiting for it over a year later!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Me 2. Cooper was 8 days early and I'd had two real painful "pains" while I was out shopping and that was it, next minute I was in hospital having my baby. I regretted not going to bed earlier and not having relaxed that day. (instead I'd done housework etc). ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I had a show in the morning, was totally off food and within a couple of hours I was getting hot flushes and had to strip off (as much as I decently could in an office in the CBD). I hope it all happens for you soon. -------------

eeee!!
I had blood on the loo paper at midnight, Hannah was born 13.5 hours later. My waters broke seconds before she came out... So everyone's different.. But, textbook wise, it sounds promising!! YAY! I say Thursday (sorry!), 8lb4oz. 52cm at 4:14am! Like a few ladies have said, rest rest rest. Honestly. As happy as you'll be to have your boy, you'll also be begging for sleep when he arrives
I just hope that pain eases off for you
Once he's here, the relief will be instant! I felt like I was floating on air. The mw was laughing at me, trying to walk the 10 feet to the shower afterwards. She said I looked like I was walking on the moon! It's awesome! YAY! ! ! ! -------------
