Question, ladies! What does a mucus plug look like? I think I may have just lost mine, but there wasn't any blood. I went to the bathroom and when I looked in the toilet before I flushed, I there was a solid-ish yellow chunk of goo. It was about the size of a quarter. Does that sound like a mucus plug to you?

Yes it does, mine keeps coming for the past few days in chunks... Today was the first day its been bloody, which just means its coming from closer to the cervix, or at least thats what ive been told...

Like quarter sized chunks? I don't know if I should expect more to come out or if this huge chunk was it.

 

[sassy_mom]

Yep Brieri. Sounds like you are losing it.

 

[ARuppe716]

Brieri- at my Lamaze class the instructor said it can be as large as a wine cork!! Sounds like your plug to me! And woohoo for bm's...i still think its funny how we post this and celebrate it on the Internet

Nikki- that's where mine itches too and I have a bunch of new marks that popped up in the last few weeks. Just took my Benadryl and am now lying in bed ready to pass out!

 

[brieri1]

I hope you ladies are right. I was beginning to think I'd never lose it. I've been having contractions all day. I wish they would either progress or stop, they're really annoying. They've gotten a little more intense, but I think its just because they've been happening for so many hours my muscles are getting tired.

 

[brieri1]

Now I'm getting bright red streaks when I wipe, is this bloody show?

Finally full term

 

[Soniamillie01]

Good luck ginger.

Aruppe - sounds as though you and DH have made the best decision for you and your baby's health. I am now quite anxious (on top of being anxious before) about making it to the consultant appointment next week, DH and I discussed it last night and I think we may opt for elective c section based on size, if they won't scan me then based on 32 week scan he is like to be 9lb 5oz give or take the one lb difference, so between 8lb 5 and 10lb 5 - ouch! I can't believe that they won't scan me based on my concerns but don't think they will, they seem to be quite stubborn there. I had a dream last night that I went into labour before next Friday, they refused me a c section on arrival and it all went wrong. I don't want to be put in a position where by the risks are increased - I know there are risks with any delivery but I read online that I am at a 70% risk of having a shoulder dystocia due to baby size between estimated at between or over 4000g - 4500g. I may try to give them a call today to see if I can move the consultants appointment to earlier in the week but not sure I'll have much luck.

Good luck Ginger and Brier!

AFM - low heavy feeling now that baby is fully engaged. I had 6 or 7 mild contractions earlier that I was timing to see if they became more regular. They've stopped completely now although I'm still having tightenings. I have a weird stabbing pain in my right boob.. very weird.

 

[Lillian33]

Hi ladies! Wanted to check in & see how you're all doing, I have no hope of completely catching up on all I've missed though!

This is it for you ginger, best of luck!

Hopefully the time is near for the rest of you experiencing those pre labour twinges!!

Lauren & Nikki, best of luck for the inductions.

Ditty, hope your beautiful violet is well, she & my Harry are birthday buddies!

All is going well for me, we're back at home, c-section pain subsiding & trying to learn the ropes of patenting! The feeling of love for my boy (well both of them now!) is intense! Got the hormonal emotional roller coaster going on too but trying to get through it!

Sending all my love to you ladies I still try to read as much as I can as it's always good to hear from u all.
