It just means your body is preparing, not necessarily that you’re going to go into labour in a matter of hours/days unfortunately! All normal, as long as you don’t have any fresh bleeding x

With my first I gave birth a couple of hours later

I went into labour 2-3 days later after my mucus plug, different for everyone though. But a good sign that your labour will be coming soon 😊

I only went into labor right after when there was blood in it

I went into labour that day after losing mine with my first 😊
16 week scan, does this definitely look like a girl??

Do you believe that you keep dreaming about a certain person for a reason ?

Hi,
Might be a silly question but I'm a ftm and my baby is 4 weeks, me and my mum are going to a garden centre and want to take the baby, my question is, is that okay?
Did anyone else take their baby out at 4 weeks?

I stupidly did the sneak peek gender test at 7 weeks before I even had my first ultrasound. It says I’m having a girl. I have two boys currently. I’ve had a miscarriage before and I’m so worried this ultrasound is going to show something that isn’t a viable pregnancy. I feel like I know in my core that everything is OK but I have that nervous feeling of the unknown as well. I’m 8 weeks today. Idk why I’m posting lol I’m just so nervous.

Really happy to say my baby has arrived safely after an incredible home birth. I'm so pleased to have gotten my home birth with my second child. The difference post birth is truly magical.
My 5 year old daughter was there to witness her baby brother come in the world. I had a lovely hot bath in the evening and we all laid on the sofa for the remainder of the day and watched strictly before heading to bed.
The birth overall was fast at 6hrs 30 mins. Although at the time it felt long and very intense.
Happy to share any further details on my birth as I know how much birth stories helped me when I was planning my home birth as I was outside of guidance with risk of PPH.

I don’t know whether triage would want to see me or whether they’d not be interested as I’m 40+2 weeks, and over the past three days, I’ve started to feel like my pelvis is ripping to shreds, it’s so sore, has a burning sensation sometimes and getting out of bed is painful, sitting on the toilet is painful. Unless I keep my legs closed it hurts. Sleeping is painful. Is this normal?
