Mucus plug questions

I have lost so much mucus in the past 3 days .... The mucus is usually brownish lighter brown and pink ... Now I know that they say losing your mucus plug is a show and it's totally normal but with how much mucus I have lost I'm not sure it is ... When I go on Google and look up mucus plugs other women who have lost their entire mucus plug in one wipe have smaller amounts of mucus then me and it feels like I have to go to the bathroom a lot more not because I have to pee but bc I have a giant glob of mucus down their ...I think yesterday I wiped like 5-10 giant globs of mucus and the day before that I know I wiped more ... I brought it up to my doctor and they think I'm fine I had a cervical exam on Tuesday and I'm 2cm dilated and 70%effaced can anyone tell me if this much mucus is normal or if anyone experienced the same thing

This is completely normal don’t worry!! With my first I lost all of mine in one go and it wasn’t too big. With my second I had SO much it was constant every time I went to the toilet and it was in the lining of my underwear too, huge blobs of it! It’s completely completely normal!! Do not worry!! X

As long as you’re not bleeding heavy (like a period) and there is just lining of blood in the mucus you’re absolutely fine x

thank you this makes me feel better

that’s okay! Glad it’s helped you feel better!! If you have any other worries etc don’t hesitate to message me! :)

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! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

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
