How do you know it was your mucus plug? Xxx

I lost mine last Sunday but no sign of anything since 😅 x

I think I lost mine a few days ago too!!! I was 35+2 and 3 times that day I had the thick mucus string with a tiny brown blood streak in each.

Ah just googled and braxton hicks can be uncomfortable but not painful kinda thing! So sounds like them xx

Been loosing mine since last Sunday day on day off. Been uncomfortable too but nothing more. 35+2 ✌️

Generally, When do you usually lose your mucus plug? Xx

I feel like I lost mine a few weeks back but my midwife said it’s not as it’s too early? I’m 36 weeks today telling very bottom heavy like everything is just going to fall out😂 been getting little niggles of pain here and there and bad back pain xxx

Update : came to the hospital this morning and I’ve been diagnosed with preclampsia and then went to the toilet whilst waiting for my bloods and my waters have just gone I think! Trickling everywhere. Sounds like this baby might be coming sooner rather than later xxxx

How are you getting on? I had to go hospital today due to protein in urine high blood pressure etc but seemed to be ok once I got there! Xx

Have dropped a new post! Ended up having a pretty quick labour 😍😍😍 xxxxxx

C-section

Hi ladies, how long does it take to recover from a c-section?

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Help!

Stuck on names, I have an Ollie already.

We were set on Hugo but I don’t like any of the shortened nicknames for Hugo and don’t feel it’s as easy to say as Ollie! What do you think?
