Hi Mel,

I have had pains 5 mins apart all night and had a small show this afternoon, but the midwives have still told ne it could be a couple of weeks !!! So i quess no one really knows how long they are going to take, we just have to play the waiting game im afraid.
Good luck with your induction if you make it that far

Unfortunately it could still be a few days. But a lot of women do go into labour with a day or two after having a show. Have you had any pinkish tinge yet to the mucus?

Like Trish, I'm curious to know is it for medical reasons you are booked in for induction?

All the best.

What now?? Now you wait! LOL.

For me, both times losing my mucus plug was the onset of labour - with DD that lasted 72 hours, with DS only 5 so there's no way of knowing.

Good luck beating your induction date - I managed to both times!

It was six days for me.....

I started to lose it 2 or 3 days before & had DD2.

DD1 had show & labour started that night. DS had no warning really. No mucus, no show. Was waiting for it.
