yeah if it is the show ... id be calling , i hd my show 24hrs before i went into labour .. i have never seen anything like it .. its not like you can mistake it for anything . call your doc , panic will make it worse .. did you dtd in the last 48 hrs ?? it could be an irritated cervix ..
I'm not really panicking just yet. It's amazing how calming having a toddler to look after can be! After all if I get upset she will too so I have to be as normal as possible.
What's worrying me is that everything I've read says the show can be as much as two weeks before going into labour but nobody has mentioned it happening any earlier than that. Last time it was 4 or 5 days before I went into labour. The really scary thing is having a premmie baby, it was bad enough last time being separated from DD when she went into special care for a day.
So I'm waiting till the OB is in his office to call and ask questions. I don't want to bother him at home as I've had no contractions and bub is having a bit of a dance-off in there so he's obviously not worried. But I would like some answers.
FIngers crossed that bub hangs in there for you for a bit longer. I lost my show nearly 2 weeks ago now and am still waiting! I've had lots of prelabour back ache but that is it. Seeing as you have a few weeks to go though I would call just to give them a heads up. Good luck. xox
Well, I spoke to the nurse who told me not to panic. She said if I'm going into labour there's nothing anyone can do to stop it so just keep an eye on it and call back if I start getting contractions or my waters break. She also said it's not uncommon for it to come out two or even three weeks before going into labour. So now I'm hoping junior will stay in for as long as possible. In the meantime I've warned my parents, who will be the ones looking after DD, I'm packing my hospital bag and just getting on with life (but keeping my legs firmly closed).
