How long after your "bloody show" did you go into labour?

If you've had kids before, how long before your bloody show did you go into labour and give birth?

I lost my mucus plug 1.5 weeks ago and still no labour. I am 37.4 weeks

I lost my show around 9am, had light period pains that day. Woke up around 1am that night wondering if I felt a contraction. 2am started timing contractions, and 4am baby born. With my first I lost my bloody show once light and irregular contractions started. So timings could vary a lot but should mean baby is on its way for you!!

3 days before for me x

Like an hour before x

I've lost plenty of mucus plugs since 32 weeks but last night was the first bloody one. Midwife has said that's a good sign and has given me a sweep today at 38+1. I lost more mucus plug straight after. I've been getting lightning crotch/cramping since last night with regular non painful Braxton hicks contractions. Baby's head is down and engaged but was pressing in over the cervix, hiding it behind so she couldn't check how dilated I am. Will go for a long walk for the fireworks display tonight and see how I get on :)

A couple of days before for me with my previous baby

I had no bloody show before my son came

@Elle I didn't for my previous babies but have this time. I've definitely been contracting. Even regularly all last night but nothing intense or close enough to go in yet
