Is this the bloody show?

I've been losing clear bits of mucus plug but for the past couple hours I've been having really painful period cramps but they are bearable enough for me and now I've wiped and just seen this.

Looks like it ❤️ baby could be close ☺️

Could be, yeah. I had cramps for 3 days after my show before my waters broke and I went to hospital. This was definitely the start of things for me!

@Loren how regular were your cramps. I've been having them for around 3 hours and they're like 8-10 mins apart

This is what I experienced around midnight/1am on Friday morning and delivered my boy by 10:30am yesterday!

With my first born my water broke so I didn’t expect to have contractions but had them every 5-8 minutes or so for about 3 hours and then went to the hospital and they admitted me.

Im experiencing period like pains every 6 minutes, but they're not super consistent. They can be like 8 minutes or 5 minutes. It's hard to keep track whilst entertaining a toddler. I don't know when I should call triage and go in. When they're regular every 3 mins righy?

Always call triage for advice. Give us an update!

Induction?

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

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
