Real Talk with the Midwife

I’m due to be induced next week and I have had this twice today . I know our mucus plugs can re generate I never had a bloody show with my first just mucus. Does this mean labor is near or just one of the same things as losing your mucus plug?

2 days ago I had a small (pink) amount of spotting, lasted only the 1 toilet trip. Today I have had more spotting (pink) but it’s a lot more than before. And even had a red bit. I’m 16 weeks and 1 day. Should also mention I’ve been sick the last 2 days with gastro incase that would have anything to do with it. I’ll put photos in the comments.

I’m 37yo and I have very regular periods. My period is now 4 days late and I’ve taken a test for the past 3 days and I’m testing negative. Could I possibly be pregnant but maybe my hcG levels are low for some reason? For reference: I tested early with my son and tested positive before my period was supposed to start.

I messaged my midwife the other day saying I’m feeling quite low and the NHS website said to contact my midwife. She responded that I could go to talking therapy. When I asked how I do that she told me to google it. Is that normal? I am feeling quite low and it sounds silly but just messaging her was a big step and I can see me proactively googling and sorting talking therapy myself

I wanted to ask a question, I’m currently 5 months post partum. And my partner and i have had intercourse several times and each time have used EllaOne. But this has all been in 1 month.

My period started on the 30th December and ended on the 5th January. Meaning i will be ovulating between 6th - 16th January.

Now during that time we have both been intimate:

• First on the 8th then had the EllaOne day after pill.
• Second on the 9th then had the EllaOne the day after.
• Third on the 11th and had the day after pill
• Fourth now on the 14th and I’m planning to get day after pill tomorrow.

I know the EllaOne isn’t used for regular contraception which is why I have been put on the waiting list for the implant. Now I’m pretty terrified because before i had my baby we had done the similar thing but went from EllaOne to then Levonelle. I have been told that you shouldn’t mix them. And I’m just concerned that I’ve taken so many of the EllaOne that it might not work or something. Could anyone help me or does anyone know what I should do?
