She's had her "show"... how long now?
Nat's due on March 9th and had her "show" (blurgh) on Sunday night.
Mothers and fathers of SN (not the ***** though, you can **** off
), how long was it after the cervix show mucas was discharged to labour starting? I've heard a few hours upto two fookin weeks 
First baby, mother is 24 with a healthy pregnancy thus far (father has very potent supersperm if it helps
)...

My partner had our second child yest and was induced but with our 1st child she had him within 3/4 days if I remeber correctly, The big thing is waters breaking when that happens thats when its all hands to the pump.
Good luck

May not be anytime soon sadly. I didn't have mine until I was in labour with Fin.
With Tayla it was 2 weeks before. Then I had a sweep, had another and then nothing and she was four days late!
IT can come away, and build back up apparently.

Don't remember this business about "showing" - We were overdue so went in at 11am to be induced - all freaking day we were there.
At about 10pm we were watching TV in the room and X Files the film came on "mint, I thought, haven't seen this" and settled down to watch it. Even before the film actually started, heard a few pops and this torrent of water gushed out her lady parts and the game was on.
5.45am it was all over and the nipper was born. Bit of a marathon but she got there in the end.
Just think of it this way - your unlikely to be subjected to another episode of "One born every minute"
Good luck all of you

HAving a little 3month nipper at home I did read up on this and the show is just the plug that blocks the cervix dropping out 
Apparently the waters breaking before you go into labour is a common myth propogated by TV - only 5% of women actually have their waters break before labour starts - typically it's during!

Nope, with Fin I was 10 cm and pushing and my waters were still in tact.
I was 9cm with Tayla, then they burst. She was born 5 minutes later

- it is supposed to trigger the release of a hormone that should kick start things ...... or not as was with my wife !! 
There are two waters - frontal and rear?

So not only have I got a delivery to deal with, I have to attend some sort of 'show' before hand? It is any good?
None of the baby books have told me this!
Good luck Andy, I sure it won't be long. But what you should have asked was 'how long is a piece of string?' because the answer would have been just as accurate!

For inducing they typically break the waters with a strange device that looks like a crochet needle - it is supposed to trigger the release of a hormone that should kick start things ...... or not as was with my wife !!

It not the first thing used for induction, but is usually needed as a form of intervention.
Sadly most inductions require a lot of intervention, but it all turns out ok in the end.

we were lucky, wife was due on the saturday.
labour started 2 am on the friday night. hung around at home till lunchtime sat.
into hosp and baby born sunday at 4.33 am. 27hrs later : but basically next day from "labour starting in ernest"
as oppose to 2 weeks overdue and so on.
genuinely the old wives tale of spicy food did it for us: I'd been to get a massive curry takeaway for our tea on the friday night !!!!!
be prepared for the experience of yr life !!!!!!!!
