Mucus plug

I began to lose pieces of my mucus plug yesterday. Today I’m pretty sure the whole thing came out. I’m a bit worried as I’m only 37 weeks.

How soon did you go into labor after losing your mucus plug?

I don’t remember losing mine but I was induced but a coworker lost hers and went like 2 months before her water broke and she went into labor

i think i lost a good amount of mine a few weeks before also. it can happen and regenerate. i had only lost a tiny piece right before actually going into labor.

It can “grow” back I wouldn’t worry too much okay labor can start and take weeks so you could start having preterm labor now at 37 weeks and not go into active labor until 40 weeks

I have been continuously losing mine for weeks now starting around 38 weeks and just hit 41 weeks (had 3 sweeps and two pessarys). Also, at 37 weeks you are considered full term so I would try not to worry yourself. If you were to go into labour baby is fully developed and considered term 😊

I am 36 weeks and I lost mine today xx

It depends but remember if worried nothing wrong with being checked

At 37 weeks your full term no pre term so baby would be absoloutley fine I wouldn’t worry at all

Lack of patience

Is anybody else really struggling in this heat to have any patience? Like my mood is just switching in a second from 'I can do this' to 'why can't you just f***in go to sleep?!' I've spent half an hour trying to get my little one down for a nap, sweat dripping down me, their body heat and my body heat quite frankly overheating the pair of us, to then put them down and them open their eyes immediately and smile... It makes me want to scream and I'm really trying to hold it together as I don't want them seeing me like that but it gets me so wound up. I just want a cold shower 😭

12 week scan

Twins, any predictions they are measuring around the same which is lovely! Due Dec but I’m sure they’ll be here November 🫶🏻💙🩷

Why does my 12 week scan look so different from everyone else's?

I've seen so many posts from other ladies of their 12 week scan photos even asking for early gender guesses and I am feeling confused and deflated and a little sad that mine looks nothing like them, when we first went in for the 12 week scan (at the start of may) the baby was facing like head towards the front so sonographer couldn't get a crown to rump measurement, but I could see the baby's head, she said to drink some more and walk around and come back in half hour, so we did, and then baby was apparently upside down, she was able to get a measurement to date the pregnancy at 12 weeks 5 days (we were expecting 12 weeks 1 day but I know thats normal to be slightly out on calculations) but the baby didn't look much like a baby at all, so all the photos we got I can't even tell what im looking at, let alone if its a boy or girl, we can't even tell where the head is? The sonographer seemed fine with it and said everything looks good, we heard heartbeat and she was able to measure the fluid behind the neck so she could obviously tell which bit was where and didn't seem concerned, so I didn't think much of it, just expected this is what a 12 week scan looks like, but now I've seen soooo many on here that have me a bit worried about mine? Has anyone else had this? Looking for some reassurance, we've got a private gender scan on the 10th as we are now 15weeks 3 days today, hoping that will help reassure me and look more like I was expecting? Thanks

Light bleeding & cramp

I started to get light spotting when I wiped on Saturday morning and cramps in my back and stomach, I’ve been having it for 4 days roughly. I had my period 2 weeks ago and there isn’t enough blood to make it a period.
