I had it after contractions had started. They were about 8 minutes apart at the time, I think. When it happened, it scared the crap out of me; my legs started to shake and my teeth chattered. I thought, Oh my god, it's really happening! So I called the hospital and told them and they said it was practically meaningless--that some people have their bloody show/mucus plug a week or more before labor starts!
Bloody show at 10pm, contractions mild the rest of the night, went to hospital at 1:00pm the next day, by which time I was 5cm and 100%, delivered at 10pm that night. So, 24 hours from show til baby!
