Good luck Misscalais!

No luck in turning my little girl yet but I did get more sleep last night which was nice.
On Saturday my husband and son are going out so I have a good part of the day to myself! Looking forward to it.

Good luck misscalais!! I hope this is finally it!
And good luck to all the other mamas getting promising labor signs!
Sweet tart I'm glad you got a little sleep last night. That's nice that you get some "me" time this weekend. I'm having my husband take our daughter out in the morning / afternoon on Sunday so I can give the house a good scrubbing.

I was losing tiny amount of mucus plug on Wednesday.. I also mentioned it on my last post before giving birth! It was literally only tiny amounts so didn't think of it
Misscalais I hope things are happening for you x

It was pretty significant. But that doesn't necessarily mean labor. I'm not getting my hopes up for sure.

Hello ladies... I have a question...
This morning I noticed 1 small pink drop on my toilet paper. Nothing since and never had before this morning. Then, I had a couple thick white discharges (sorry for TMI) and was wondering if that's supposed to be pieces my mucus plug or if it's just regular pregnancy discharge?
I am sneaking into my docs office at 1:15 today because of a sharp pain at the top of my uterus midway between belly button and bra line. They want to check since the weekend is starting.
Yesterday I had lots of Braxton-Hicks. None painful but it was a lot of tightening off an on. Hopefully I just strained a muscle. I am not going to lie, I am a little freaked out.
Thanks for any advice!

Saravo is this your first? Apparently u can loose plug ages before Labour on 1st sorry 😓 but on subsequent usually means Labour is right around the corner. With ds1 I lost full plug z good week or even two before but with ds2 I lost it in full after a few hours of sting co distant contractions/about 8 hours before ds was born. Now on this one I have lost a few bits of it here and there but not the circular blood streaked bit like others. So I suppose i don't know all are different but I'm sure it's a. Good sign!!
mikihob I have no idea I never had any blood at all not even a drop of blood apart from streaked plug. Both times when I lost my full plug it was very very jelly like a proper circle shape.
Afm I just felt really sick after dinner not awfully unusual for me but this felt different I was full of wind and just had to run to the loo for a clear out. I have had very loose bowels this whole pregnancy even waking in the night because of diarehha so trying not to over think but it did feel different this evening. Ah who am I kidding I'm overvreacting to every single twing this week!!
Miss calasis you have gone very quiet presume your pushing awake. Cannot wait to hear!!

I'm sure I read yesterday that if labour doesn't start within 24 hours of plug loss your body regenerates another new one. Not sure how true that is though.

Mikihob: I thought that the mucous plug was supposed to have a TON of mucous, but I don't know for sure because I'm a FTM and haven't lost it yet.

So we had a helluva night last night. I went to my cardiologist appointment only to be told that it would cost $450.00 up front to have the EKG done. Since I don't have that kind of money to just spend, they said they wouldn't be able to see me. I called my OB and got a girl on the phone who I was NOT happy with. She got an attitude with me on the phone and told me, "Well, you're going to have to pay that money eventually." Like yeah, but normally I can get on a payment plan and pay it off little by little, not up front. That really made me angry.
So then we had to go to the ER, where they took an EKG and got me into a room almost right away, which is unheard of for ERs. They hooked me up to a heart monitor and took a urine sample. They found that I had an infection and had low magnesium and calcium, all of which could lead to heart palpitations, not to mention all the stress from my uncle's death a few weeks ago and the stress at work. So they gave me fluids, antibiotics, and magnesium through an IV line, as well as a prescription for more antibiotics. I was so wiped out from last night that I didn't go into work today and just have been sleeping all day.
The good news is that baby boy isn't affected at all and is still very happy in there. I'm hoping that he comes out soon, because he's definitely dropped down all the way, so much so that the women at work were mentioning it before I had even noticed!

Hellojello I can't believe they would make you pay for that upfront. It's an EKG- obviously important. Then to have the nurse talk to you like that. What a day. No guys, you didn't increase stress at all.
I am glad the ER got you in so fast and that they ran the tests. I hope it's a minor infection and that it will clear up quickly and the palpitations will stop.
Excellent news your sweet boy was unaffected. Yay!!

Echoing this!!! Glad you were able to get the EKG without having to pay up front!
I went to the ER once and needed an EKG cuz I was having chest pains and they got me a room right after the EKG so maybe that's some magic formula to get a room fast at the ER

My baby girl is here!
Had her in the early in the morning. She was in a big rush, birthed her head before the mw was ready. Hubby was like ah you better hurry her heads out. I don't think they believed him. She came out at an awkward angle as well. But i think i only pushed 3-4 times. No tears only small graze. The mw was surprised because of the way she came out and how quickly lol
She still has no name. 8lb 6oz and 51cm.
