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 twats though, you can piss off :D ), how long was it after the cervix show mucas was discharged to labour starting? I've heard a few hours upto two fookin weeks :lol1:

:D:D:D

My Missus was a couple of days beforehand...so anytime I reckon. Good luck!

Had mine about a week before :D

Never saw that yucky bit with either of my kids.

Both were induced 6 weeks early so we had appointments :)

Before the Show :wonder:

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

You are right - anything from now to two weeks!

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.

Good luck :thumb:

louise's was about 6 hours iirc

it wont be long now chocolate daddy :thumb:

Good Luck and congratulations :)

Helen had her show about 2:00pm, waters broke about 2:45pm and baby was born at 3:30pm!!

Dont worry about the show, as already said when the waters break it's game on :D

It don't seem 9 months ago you said she was preggers , that time has flown

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 :thumb:

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!

I thought the waters breaking had to be done to even start the birth off , that's why thru break them on a induction. Iirc there's two "bags" of water.

So true we never watch it now :lol1:

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 :D

I had my daughter 12 years ago yesterday and cannot even remember having one! :)

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 !! :Whatever_

There are two waters - frontal and rear?

My waters didn't break til just before she was born too.

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! :D

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!

Yes, that had to use that with Fin.

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.

Didn't read any replies .. but my misses had about three shows .. before it kicked off ..

Second baby, no shows.

My wife had the gel twice, a sweep, the drip and still nothing - in the end a c-section was the only option ...... all on a baby that was already 13 days over!!! Little princess didn't want to come out lol

Hmm, a range of replies as expected. Fingers crossed it's before next week as I need to use up my lieu days before March 31st ;) :D

Well you have to let the stitches heal and that first ,but usually you can be back on the nest in a couple of weeks !!!!!!


That was what you meant was,nt it .?

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 !!!!!!!!
