Pregnancy Q re "shows"

dondo

My wife is expecting our 2nd child

With our first my wife got a "show" about 2 days before my daughter was born

Does anyone know whether that is likely to happen again with our second?

Many thanks

Well, each pregnancy and labour is different so it's not a certainty that this labour will follow the same pattern as the first - but I think most women have a show anything from a few days beforehand to actually after the contractions have started.

Sorry not much help there but best of luck with the new baby!

I've had three babies and I never got a show with any of them

i've had 2 pregnancies, 1 with a show an labour started the following day and the other i had no show at all.

like the other person has said, every pregnancy and person is different

goodluck!

You can have a show weeks before baby is born, and you can have one in the middle of labour - sometimes you may not have one at all.

too true! I had a show few days before DD1 followed by 26 hour labour ending with forceps delivery. Second time around waters broke (Exploded? ) 20 minute labour (YES minutes!) baby shoots out no problem.

You cannae tell! And good luck with baby!
