I lost my mucus plug 1.5 weeks ago and still no labour. I am 37.4 weeks

I lost my show around 9am, had light period pains that day. Woke up around 1am that night wondering if I felt a contraction. 2am started timing contractions, and 4am baby born. With my first I lost my bloody show once light and irregular contractions started. So timings could vary a lot but should mean baby is on its way for you!!

3 days before for me x

Like an hour before x

I've lost plenty of mucus plugs since 32 weeks but last night was the first bloody one. Midwife has said that's a good sign and has given me a sweep today at 38+1. I lost more mucus plug straight after. I've been getting lightning crotch/cramping since last night with regular non painful Braxton hicks contractions. Baby's head is down and engaged but was pressing in over the cervix, hiding it behind so she couldn't check how dilated I am. Will go for a long walk for the fireworks display tonight and see how I get on :)

A couple of days before for me with my previous baby

I had no bloody show before my son came

I didn't for my previous babies but have this time.

I've definitely been contracting. Even regularly all last night but nothing intense or close enough to go in yet

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😂🥲

Hi

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

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you

If this is your second child are you/have you given your eldest a present “from baby”

If so what did you give them because I am stuckkkkkkk, due next week so really need to get a wriggle on to get sorted 😂
