Mine went and I didn't go into labour. Was induced 6 days later.
Sorry it's probably not what you want to hear but maybe you can relax a bit knowing it might not necessarily be for a while.

Just rest as much as you can

Unfortunately a show is not a sign that labour will start soon it can take up to two weeks for anything to happen after you get a show!

In two of my pregnancies (didn't get one on my first, I don't think, can't remember!), the show came and I went in to labour less than 24 hours later.

My waters started leaking two weeks after i had the show. Was in hospital for a week on antibiotics, then induced so it really can vary unfortunately.
