My wife is 1 day over her due date. Is she having a "show"?!


Question: My wife is 1 day over her due date!. Is she having a "show"!?
My wife was due to give birth yesterday!. Today she is having period-like pains in her abdomen!. She has also had a gradual discharge from her vagina during the day today, like a light-brown liquid!. She's sure it's not blood!. What is this!? Is it a "show" where the mucus unblocks from the cervical opening!? Does this happen moments or days before waters break!?

The asnwer to this question may decide whether or not I go out tonight!.!.!.!.!.!.
ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If she has had liquidy discharge all day then her waters may well be leaking - the "show" when the mucus plug dislodges from the cervix causes a thick mucousy discharge, not a thin watery one!. In response to when this happens, it tends to occur a couple of days before birth actually happens, but this is very variable!.

I would advise that you don't go out tonight, or if you do make sure you don't drink and you are easily contactable and can get home quickly!. The period like pains your wife has been having today and the discharge (which sounds more like her waters are leaking) means that she is likely to go into labour relatively soon - probably within the next 24 hours anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I really don't think it would be a good idea for you to go out tonight and leave your wife alone!. She is really close to her due date so labor can happen at any time!. You helped to create this little life and now is when she really needs your help and support!. A bloody show isn't usually bright red because the mucus plug isn't fresh blood so it sounds like she is getting ready for labor!. The cramps are most likely early labor pains!. Congrats on the baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't be going out anyway - stay home with your wife!

Peace hon and take care of your wife!.

Obviously she could start going into labor anytime!. Period like pains are probably mild contractions!. Why would you even consider going out!? She picked a real winner!.!.!.
