New Moms- How long after your bloody show until your baby came?!

I think there might have been a post on this and I tried searching but I couldn't find it.  

I was just wondering how far after you had your bloody show until you were in active labor/ had your baby?!  I am 39W1D and had my membranes stripped yesterday morning.  I have been having lower back pain, feeling a little crampy, and having the wonderful lightning crotch but nothing consistent or able to be timed.  I went to the bathroom earlier and had my bloody show but I'm still just having back pain for the most part. Not sure if it is just from my membranes being stripped or things are getting moving along!

This is actually my second baby too but with my first my water broke and then I went in and they induced me so I am still new to the timing and actually going into labor on my own.. 

Thanks!

  • I am supposed to go to the hospital when I see blood. Did they tell you that since you had your membranes stripped you don't need to go in when you see blood?

  • This is my third... I had had my membranes swept on Tuesday... I am 4cm, 100% effaced... Had bloody show on Wednesday and again yesterday... Still no baby or labor! It's not a clear indicator!!

  • It is probably just the spotting from the membrane stripping is it mucousy? But my baby didn't come until the day after my 40 week membrane sweep I had a tiny tinge of pink at Dr and that was it and baby girl came the next morning at 415am good luck
  • She said I could spot from the membrane stripping and not to be alarmed.  I didn't have anything yesterday though and I haven't had any blood to be worried about.  It is definitely mucous and pink but switched to like a light brown/ pink.  I think it is all out now.. Still no other symptoms but back pain.
