How long before labor after bloody show?

[junbait]

As the title asks... how long did it take for you to go into true labor after a bloody show?

With my first, I had my bloody show after my contractions had already started. With my second, I had my bloody show and then went into labor the following day. With my third, I never had a real bloody show (must have happened when I was in the hospital), but I did have a teeny bit of spotting one week before labor.

It was over a week after with my first. Close to 2 weeks I think.

With my first, I was in early labour (light contractions) for a day before having a bloody show. I went into the hospital shortly after seeing the show, which was early Sundaymorning. Labour continued but I didn't have the baby until Monday afternoon at 3 pm (with induction). So with my first it was almost 36 hrs after seeing the show that I delivered.

With my 2nd, the show was one of my first signs (and pelvic pressure). I had the show at 9:30 pm, went into labour immediately after, and delivered 8:30 pm the next morning!-less than 12 hrs after the show.

Didn't have any bloody show with my first but my waters broke before contractions started (that I was aware of). Second had my bloody show on the Thursday morning, continued losing plug over the next few days and went into labour on the saturday so 2 days

I didn't have one with my first but with my second I had one after my sweep on the friday and had her early hours of Sunday morning.

I've heard that it can come away at any point and re grow

I honestly don't remember if I had bloody show with DS1. I do remember starting to lose my mucus plug about two weeks before he was due. I may have had bloody show roughly a week before I was due, more or less. I still ended up being induced at 41 weeks, but I was in latent labor during this whole time.

SIL had one last week - still no baby, she's beside herself poor girl . xx

Thanks ladies! I am not ready for the baby to come out before due date, so it gives me hope that there is a chance baby might not come for atleast two weeks after a show!

I am also assuming what I had was a bloody show. It was a lot of my mucus plug with brown blood. I have never seen so much mucus in one blob like that during pregnancy before. As for other signs... I only have had BH contractions which are completely painless so far and noticed extremely mild period cramps coming and going last night. So mild I had to pay attention to them or else I would miss them completely.

I had what I thought was my bloody show on the Sunday, but I think it ended up just being the result of an internal.. It was like dark red period-type blood, with little clots. But then the next day I got what was definitely more of a show - pink-tinged mucus. After this I didn't go into labour until the following Sunday... I feel like that's not so common though! May just be that I had the internal and it stirred everything inside. Have you had one lately..? If not, could be a good sign!

I lost a LOT more of it when I was actually in labour too.

I lost more mucus with more brown blood around 30 minutes ago. So it looks like its my plug coming off. I would not expect this much brown blood 3 days after an internal exam. Also, I have never had any bleeding with any of my internal exams before, not even tinges.
