Hi all
For you that remember what going in to labour is like - do you have to have a show before the real labour contractions start? I know that a show can, um, show up a couple of weeks before you go in to labour so I guess my question is, can I relax until I have had a show? Hope that makes sense  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| you dont always have a show, it can come away during labour. With Kobe I had a show and had him 5 days later, with Addison i was induced and never even saw it, though presumably it did come away at some stage. |

Great - I was hoping I could stop worrying about going in to labour until I had def had a show but I should have known that it wouldn't be so straightforward... ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Same as with waters really - can be before or during.  -------------  |

I had a show during labour with Maya, and after a stretch and sweep a few days before I was induced with the gremlins. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

My show showed on the day I went into labour with Ella, with Benjy I had nothing, no show, no waters, not even an obvious mucous plug!
I guess nothing is definite about how you'll go into labour, sorry! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

My mucus plug started to come away about a week before due, I had a stretch & sweep when I was a couple days over due, and no show until I was actually in labour. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I never saw my show, I only knew I was in labour when my waters broke (thankfully at home) so whether my show came at the same time as the waters or during labour I wouldnt ahve a clue.
My ocntractions didnt start for a few hours after the waters breaking. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
