How long before intercourse to take Mucinex?

How long before baby dancing should I take Mucinex to help with my cervical mucus? I had an LH peak but I haven’t had a lot of ewcm this cycle, so hoping the Mucinex will help. I’ve heard people say to just take it 30mins before intercourse, while others take it days leading up to their fertile window. Should I take it hours before?

I read it goes to work within 30m-1hr so I just took it an hour before and then repeated almost every day during my fertile window.

We took it about 30min-1hr before having sex and also used pressed about 15 min before sex. We both took it for 9 days over the fertile window. I have a calendar schedule if you’re interested!

Thanks for sharing🤍 This is helpful!

When you say “we both took it,” do you mean your partner as well? I’d never heard of having partners take Mucinex while TTC? Did it help?

yeah we both took it! His sperm count was on the lower end of average so we decided to boost our chances and we both took it. We got pregnant the first time we tried it. We are trying for #2 in September and I think we’ll follow the same schedule we did last time and see how much of a factor the mucinex is!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

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?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

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!
