Bloody show

Lindsey

I am 38wks. Yesterday I was 4cm 80% effaced. This morning I woke up to quite a bit brown/red mucus and it’s still coming. I know you can spot after an exam but this stuff keeps coming. I have quite a bit of period cramps and low back pain even aching in my hips. My question is how long after a bloody show did any of you go into active labor?

I think I might go for a walk after bit to see if I can get something started.
