What does the mucus plug look like? I felt a gush of wetness so I went to check and I had this very thick, clear goo like stuff... it was super sticky. I went for a shower and then afterwards went pee and when I wiped I noticed blood (brightish red), and the toilet bowl had some blood in it...
 
Eeeee!!! Sounds promising TTC!!

Sounds like your plug and your show!!
 
Call you doctor ttc! Bright red blood is one of the things thy always want a call for.

Great quilt Hann. And thanks for all the engaging info.

I hope my cervical check isn't too painful. I've been feeling recently like I have pms. I'm really emotional, getting pimples, etc. anyone else? Oh and gross thing today: I used lanolin on my bbs again, and weird little crusties came off both sides. Like little half grains of rice. Do you think I'll start leaking now? I'm not really sure what to make of this.
 
Yippie, hope it means something :)!!!! No blood or mucus since, just some dull cramping and a few BH. I see my midwife tomorrow afternoon, so I'll mention it then but if I get more blood I will definitely be calling in!!
 
TTC glad it's stopped but its a good plan to call if it starts again.

If it was just the one instance then it sounds very much like your cervix dilating. Especially as it was the same time as your plug. :)

Sass - I get a load of crusty bits off my nipples. I think it's just where they very slowly leak and it dries in.

Been happening for a while and they only ever noticeably leak of I squeeze them.

For a few weeks a while back I'd have wet patches on my nighties but that's stopped for the last few weeks. The crustiness is still going strong though. Gross!!
 
Hmmm, I just went to the bathroom and my pad had blood on it, but it was soaked up, less bright red but pink mixed with wetness... ahhh I am going to call the midwife line and see what they think.
 
exciting ttcbean! maybe you'll have the next baby here!!! :)

keep us updated!!!!
 
Definitely call your mw - bright red blood should always be reported
 
My midwife said to just keep an eye on it, if I soak a pad with bright red blood to call asap. She doesn't seem too worried since the 2nd time I bled it wasn't bright red, more pinkish. I am not having any regular contractions or anything - just a few BH here and there, nothing to get too excited about. I am getting some lower back ache and period like cramping. I haven't had any blood since I last posted. I see her tomorrow so we'll see! I'm hoping this is the start, would love to meet my little man a little earlier than expected!
 
so today is my first day of maternity leave, and i am in full-blown nesting mode!

i am getting all of his little clothes ready for washing, and i'm cleaning the house like crazy. eeeeeek, he'll be here in just a couple of weeks or less!!! starting to feel really real!!!


:happydance:
 
How exciting jtink!!!! I had a blast washing my baby's little clothes!!! My friend who lives in Canada sent a package with some clothing so I have more to prep (I got it today!) :) it's such fun!
 
what laundry detergent are you using, ttcbean?

i've got All free & clear. dreft smelled soooo delicious, but i figured if he has sensitive skin, i don't want to wash everything all over again! a lot of moms i know recommended All free & clear because they love it and the price is good.

i've looked over his little blankets and clothes and socks so many times, but everytime i look at them, i get emotional and excited. i can't wait until he's here!!!
 
I used: https://www.ecos.com/ecosliquid.html (the lavender one) my DH has very sensitive skin and this detergent doesn't bother him at all, so I figured it should be good for LO if he follows DH's steps!

I know what you mean, I've been making a lot of trips to LO's room just to look at all the wee socks, clothing, blankets and toys. :) :) I can't wait!
 
Hann: Love the quilt!! So cute and totally gender neutral!

TTC: Sounds like plug and bloody show. Also pink liquid filling a pad? Your waters might be leaking. I would personally get checked, but if you're still comfortable, then no harm in waiting until you see your midwife tomorrow. I would bring your hospital bag!

jtink: My DD has incredibly sensitive skin and she did fine with Dreft, Purex Baby, and All Free & Clear. Just no stain removers like Oxy Clean or anything. My husband's skin is sensitive too, so we use homemade detergent for him: baking soda, washing soda, borax, and fels naptha bar. It's super cheap to make and he hasn't broken out with it ever. :)

AFM: Checked out of work today! Yay! Tomorrow I plan to do some serious nesting!
 
i've used all free and clear before - i like it because it works well, and is sooo much cheaper than the other detergents. i can imagine that we'll be doing a lot of baby laundry in the future!! :)

does anyone else's lower back really really hurt? mine hurts after about 15 minutes of standing up, and i feel like someone stabbed me in the back. as soon as i sit down, the pain goes away. i guess that's what happens when you're growing a 9 lb meatloaf and he's sitting super low!!! but ouch!!
 
2 more drs apps left one today and one next week so exciting I washed all baby stuff weeks back in free and clear I have sensitive skin too so babes should be fine with it as well my son uses it with no problems either. Bought our last things on the weekend going to pack up our bags tonight to be safe waiting on a package to arrive with more bottles and such from amazon they screwed up today and sent it to the wrong city so should get it tomorrow. cant believe I have just over 2 weeks now time has really flown forgot how tiny newborn diapers were so cute got enough for about a week than onto number 1's if hes anything like my son he will be peeing through the newborns in a few days haha they say upto 10 lbs but my son was 8 and still peed through.
 
I don't think it was my waters leaking, I haven't had anything like that since so it probably isn't... I think it was just blood mixed with watery discharge. I've only had a wee bit of brownish discharge since. Trying to just keep calm, baby is moving just as much as always and feeling pretty good... don't want to get my hopes up for nothing! I am pretty anxious to see my midwife tomorrow though :)
 
ooh, ttc, i hope this is it for you! i can't wait to see all the babies arriving! my kiddo? he's staying put, hah! not a single sign he's ready to come - not even BH. stubborn kiddo, just like his mama :)

just ordered my breast pump through my insurance! eeeeeek!!!!!!
