STM - question about bloody show

bscurt · April 2015

Hello! Quick question - when you had your bloody show, how soon after did labor start for you? Sorry if this has been asked once before, I couldn't find it on any posts.

I've had spotting since last Friday and some consistent, streaky brown, thick discharge today. Doula says it is the bloody show! All the Google searches have shown that sometimes labor happens within 24-48 hours thereafter; others still say a week or more.

What was your experience? Thanks!
