Mucus plug after sweep, does this indicate labour is near?

I had my sweep yesterday around 24 hours ago. And am I right in believing that this is my mucus plug? If so how long does labour normally occur afterwards? This is my first baby so I’m sorry if this all sounds daft asking, my due date is today, and I’m just too excited!

Certainly looks like a mucus plug! No knowing how soon labour is though I'm afraid, it's different for everyone

Really common to lose your mucus plug after a sweep as it loosens everything and this definitely looks like it. Losing your plug is a great indicator of cervical change but not a great indicator of labour. It’s a good sign that the sweep has potentially helped you to dilate / efface. Some women go into labour within 24 hours, some still have a few days or weeks to go. Only time will tell!

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
