Mucus plug??

Heyyyy! So I’m new but I got a story. Yesterday I was having some pretty intense pressure in my pelvis so I went to the er to get checked out. I am 31 weeks due October 25th. They told me I was having mild contractions. I was dehydrated with a slight yeast infection. He is breeched and No dilation. They gave me iv fluids and meds to stop the contractions. As well as antibiotics to get rid of the infecting. They also told me he is measuring 28 weeks when I have been measuring on time the whole time up till the er visit. They sent me home the same night. Today I have been drinking lots of water and have been moderately active. This afternoon I went to pee and had what I believe was my mucus plug come out. It happened again the time after. I thought maybe it might just be the antibiotic clearing out the infecting but now I’m not sure. He hasn’t been moving a whole lot today which has me a bit worried. I’m having some pressure like I have to poop in my lower back and my butt.Freaking out just a little bit.

Looks like normal pregnancy discharge to me.

This looks like a piece of your mucus plug. This has happened to me through out both pregnancies. I was told it means absolutely nothing unless there's blood in it. Given you just went in, I would call and be like "hey, I'm a bit worried given what just happened and I lost a piece of my mucus plus, what should I do? "
Doesn't hurt and you don't have to go in unless they think you should

I just have some slight pressure but that’s all and it all seems to new jellyfish like and clear this last picture was the most reason one. The other two were quite large.

yeah it can regenerate so typically not really something to worry about BUT call! Doesn't hurt maybe given your history they'll want to check you out and the pressure although both can be normal. Personally even knowing all this I'd probably call cuz I'd be too anxious 🙈😬

Are you able to schedule a visit with your doctor?

sounds like braxton hicks or body preparing for labor but what is pictured is not what mucus plug looks like bc there’s no type of blood coloring

yes I’ll be calling in the morning

If he more worried if it had bigger clumps with bloody show

If it*

This definitely looks like a piece of your mucus plug (it doesn't always have blood in it) I lost pieces of mine like this during my first and it just happened a couple days ago with this pregnancy. It's not something to worry about unless it is blood tinged and the whole thing comes out. I would give your doctor a call just so they are aware and want ro check you to be sure though

it came out in three pieces. That was the last and the smallest

there were two big ones and then this one

Ahh

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?

32 weeks
