Bloody Show Along With Contractions

[Cyn_x0]

I've been having contractions for almost 24 hours now.. Earlier I noticed a little bloody mucous on the TP when I wiped but not very much.. Then that was it.. Up until 3am (2 hours ago) I'm noticing more bloody show on the TP when I wipe and everytime I pee. And I am still having contractions. I don't think it's unbearable as yet to go to the hospital but I was just wondering if this is a good sign.. To be having the bloody show and also having contractions?

I've been looking it up online and it says bloody show is the beginning of labor? And can take anywhere from a few HOURS to DAYS (72 hours) which I hope not.

If you had the bloody show how long did true labor take to start?

I'm just getting very excited... but don't wanna get my hopes up.

I've been having irregular contractions since yesterday and had them overnight. I have yet to see any type of bloody show or mucus plug or anything like that. I see my midwife today so hopefully I'm more than 1cm dialated! Maybe her checking me will do something.
I hope that your labour starts sooner than later! It is quite exciting for things to be happening...exhausting too! My mind runs a mile a minute thinking about it!
