The bad news is that it could be anything from a few hours to a few days to a week!!!
Hopefully things do move along for her though!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol, I never went into labour! They had to prise her out of me inthe end, about 3 weeks after the show I think? Mine wasn't bloody until I had a VE though, and that doesn't really count.
Good luck for your sister! How exciting! -------------

I had to wait over 2 weeks for my bubba to arrive after my show, very frustrating as I rang and told everyone yea bubbas on it way....!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Just bumping this thread as I have had two bloody shows today. This morning was quite an old browny blood one, and just now it was a fresh bloody one 
M/w assures me all is normal. Wish it was a clearer indication that labour is near!!! How frustrating!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

At least you know your body is obviously getting ready for labour. I never had one with Hannah. Hope you dont have to wait too much longer, the last few weeks suck.  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Yeah sounds very promising. I said it up higher but most labours start within 48 hours of a bloody show  Good luck

Guess my body is doing something right, have had another one this morning and I feel very achy all round my lower girly bits.....
No one tells you that you can have more than one show ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I guess it can take a bit for it all to come away. I know with Kobe it was 5 days from show to baby.
Good luck peachy, hope things happen soon |
