Is this my mucus plug? Should I be worried about the colour?

I was on the toilet trying to poop but was constipated so nothing came out. when I wiped i saw this on the paper.

Help please - how soon is labour? Is the colour of the mucus something to worry about?

I am 38 weeks

It could well be, mine was a lot snottier than that and only tinged pink/brown. If you’re concerned, send a picture to your midwife

Yes I’d say so! But there’s a lot of it that may only be part of it, give your maternity ward a call!

Mine didn’t look like this , maybe yours has more blood to it mine was clear and a streak of blood , I’d call

Try not to worry too much your mucus plug also contains old blood from your period prior to conception! Hope you’ve had some advice

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
