Show time!!!

[robson15]

So i'm 39 + 3 and this morning woke up to see "the show" this is now being followed by pretty strong period cramps in stomach and back. Baby still quite high looking to me though. Any thoughts as to how long after these symptoms labour might start? I know everyone is different but just wondered what peoples thoughts are. VERY EXCITED!!!!

Sounds Like the start of it to me woohoo keep active walking around bouncing on ur ball if u have one... don't have a warm Bath yet cos that might slow it down only have it when pains become stronger. ... give triage a ring to let them know... Prob will be a while till ur be told to go in is it every 5 mins regular contractions or if pain gets unbearable. .. first labours can be slow but u never know so listen to ur body. ..I had contractions which started as period pains with my first for 7 hours before they got to the point where I couldn't handle them anymore and then she doesn't come for another 13 hours after that! but sister in law was very quick with her first 5 hours from period pains! Take some paracetamol and good luck very exciting xxxx
