    I may be wrong but I thought your bloody show happened during labour, at least mine did. I had a huge show just before my OB did an internal and found I was 9cm (there was A LOT of blood). You can lose your mucous plug earlier so maybe it was that which means your body is preparing for labour but it's anyone guess as to when it will start.

    Sorry, that probably didn't help much!

    With #2 i lost mine and went into labour around 12 hours later. That's the only time i've lost it before labour/waters breaking.

    Didn't lose mine til I arrived at hosp, so about 4hrs after labour started.

    Good luck - it might be soon!

    DD1 was only within 2hrs of birth.. DD2 i don't remember actually having one, possibly in the shower about 45min - hr before birth.
    Everyone is different unfortunately, some people can get it days or even a week before bubs, others don't.
