A day or two after my EDD I found bright red blood in my undies. Freaked out & rang my midwife who explained that can happen when you have a show. She said things were starting but didn't indicate it would be that day. That was about 11am. Had nothing else all day & got quite grumpy that things seemed to have stopped. Then sitting at the table eating dinner at 7pm the same day...BAM regular contractions!

Should add that I never had any of the classic pre labour signs. He never engaged so I never had that feeling of pressure etc that I've heard other women talk about.
