When did you get it in relation to labor?

With my first, when I was 8cm dilated.

Never saw it with my second.

About 30 minutes before he came out

My first I got it a few hours before active labor started but I had my membranes stripped the day before, this one I got it this morning *hope hope hope*

Quoting laurenmik:" About 30 minutes before he came out"

I should have included a transition-birth option lol

I lost part of mine a few days before I went into labor and the rest after my water broke.

This is a good sign  

I had my bloody show when they were checking me in OB Triage.   I was not quite 4 cm. DD was born a little over 6 hours later.

Rach *like*  

I should maybe clarify I've been losing plug since last week but this was the bloody prelabor stuff.

Good luck! I hope this is it!

I lost my plug in little chunks several weeks before labor. I also had pretty sporadic contractions for several weeks, too. I was in early labor at home for 12-13 hours and my bloody show started literally right as I got checked.

I've had ctx for a long time. I'm hoping they turn the corner! They were coming pretty steady this morning (after nursing) but they've died out. I've got nothing left to look for! I hope it's not another week

I hope so, too! On the bright side, it will be sooner rather than later.   You can only be pregnant for so much longer. lol. I totally empathize with how long and miserable the last couple days are. DD was only 5 days late and I was going crazy!

I didn't have any until labor started with lyd. It was 22.5 hours before she was born.

With Charlotte. Ummm hmm I think I had a little two days before or maybe that was mucus plug. I can't remember   I know I had it at the start of birth-causing-labor. And that was 7.5 hours.

With my first at home before active labor he was born ten hrs later. Dont recall seeing it with the rest.

I didn't see my bloody show with either of my children. I wonder if I will see it with this one. My water never broke on its own either. I am actually kinda hoping it does this time lol.

Well I think its definitely starting.. owwwww. They're kind of all over the place as far as time between goes though. I guess we'll see what happens tonight.
