Contractions or not šŸ¤”

So I’ve experienced an hour of weird pain with some discharge (consistency that I’ve not gotten before and it was almost clear) yesterday evening.

I thought that could be my contractions starting and remained calm and just tried to walk around. I couldn’t really sit down as that’s when the pain got intense.

I then went to the bed thinking that this may be one of the sleepless night as I was expecting probably more pain to come through. But nothing happened and I’m back to normal with no pain like nothing happened.

I’m 39 weeks now so I’m kinda ready that baby can come anytime. But I’m very confused as to what I could experience yesterday, do you think it could be contractions, Brixton hicks… šŸ¤”

Probably bubs moving further down. I had something similar followed by hours of contractions, and baby was very very very active, so went to hospital to get checked out, despite having contractions ever 3-10 minutes, nothing was happening, cervix still closed and long and then eventually the contractions went away. Now I'm 2 days away from due date and still nothing is happening, apart from very swollen legs (I look like a hobbit), and waddling all over the place. Since baby moved further down I cant sit anymore because its sooo much pressure on my pelvis, can't lay on my back because it feels like my spine will collapse, and laying on my sides hurts. So I am also sooo ready for this baby to be born. šŸ˜†
If you are concerned at all though, call triage and talk to them. I found them very helpful :)

@Nikolet it was, they started at around 1am, we got to the hospital for 6am, then they let me out by 11am and they stopped at around 1pm. I also had some contractions at 36+6, and those lasted a few hours too.
Now I just a few sporadic ones here and there, and sooo much pressure. But other than that nothing is happening.

How many of you had your c sections rescheduled?

So I'm choosing to have a c section this time around because I had an emergency c section after being induced last time. That was less than 2 years ago so I don't think it's a good idea to try again. I'm really nervous it's gonna be rescheduled bcs I have my sister taking time off work to help me out with the baby in the hospital since my husband will have to go home to be with our toddler at night. Also my husband starts his leave on that day so I don't want him to lose any more days. So I'm just wondering how common this is. I'm in the US in NJ

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?
