Bloody show and contraction question

[Macca79]

With both my boys I had a show several days before they came. If you can relax and just wait for nature to take its course. Babes come when they are ready too and yours sounds as though its on its way.

Thanks ladies!

No more show since - isn't it funny how nature works differently with everyone? I am pretty happy to wait for this kidlet to do whatever she wants to do - but the niggles have me guessing.

Lisa I hope you are right and it is sometime today !!

I had pre labour for 3 days after mine! In my case, I wish I had rested as I was sooooo exhausted by the end of it and not getting any sleep.

Just follow your body as the others have said and try to have a job to do. If you keep moving and do something like baking or cleaning etc (I actually did a heap of work on the computer between contractions and wrapped & packed Christmas presents (DD was born 2 weeks before Christmas) which kept me really busy and helped the contractions establish themselves.

It sounds very exciting - I am very excited for you and will be watching the birth announcements in anticipation!!

Woo Hoo!

Could be soon! I went into labour the day I had a show.

Hey hun... how's everything going?
I'm kinda hoping you're holding your sweet lil girl right about now

[~me~]

Oooooh, sounds good!!
I am going with everyone else and thinking next day or so or sooner.
Hope it is all going well...hoping you are holding your little bundle or about to

Thanks girls - tonnes of pre-labour happening, no more show but lots of plug.

I see my midwife on Saturday - so I may ask her for an internal to see what's happening (more for my peace of mind).

I haven't had this much pre-labour until these last few days so I really feel that my body is gearing up to start it soon. One thing my midwife did say is with lots of pre-labour actual labour is pretty fast so fingers crossed !!

I promise to update as soon as my little miss is here
