Large bowel/labor soon? 38 wks

So today for the first time right when I woke up I needed to poop urgently which isn’t normal for me, I usually poop at the end of the day and it’s not a large bowel it’s pretty small compared to my normal pre pregnancy bowels and also I’ve been more constipated while pregnant. This morning it was actually a good consistency and a larger amount than even normal, could this mean my body is clearing itself out for labor soon?? I’m currently 38 weeks and 3 days

Birth options

Hello! I am 16 weeks pregnant and I am finally able to start thinking about my birth now! I am so 50/50 between natural and c-section.

I would love to hear your thoughts!

What type of birth did you have Andrew you happy you chose it?

Or what type of birth are you looking to have?

Thank you so much Xxx

18w gender scan

Has anyone had a gender scan where the sonographer was about as confident as they could be about baby's gender, then found out it was wrong later? We had a private scan today at 18+1 and we're over the moon but part of me is just scared we will have our anomaly scan in a couple of weeks and be told otherwise!! Sonographer today did seem very confident but I am just anxious 😅

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?
