Is labour near?!

Im 37 weeks and had a few issues over the last couple of weeks such as high blood pressure, bleeding. I had my cervix checked last week they said it was soft and she didn’t have to feel to find it she could see it. Today I woke up with lots of brown discharge and it’s there everytime I wipe and there was some in the toilet is this my mucus plug?! I’ve had nothing but intense period pains and lower back ache for the last few hours but not regular enough

You should double check with your triage unit. Although the consistency is that of discharge they might want to check it isn't meconium in your waters

Call your labour line I would, as that could be your mucus plug. Even then it may take hours/days for labour to start, but as there’s a trace of blood online they say it’s worth contacting your labour line x

I’ve been up to triage all was fine, they just confirmed it was my mucus plug, cervix is closed so just got to wait and see now 😊

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
