I know it grows back so I’m not worried + I have an appt tomorrow so I’ll let my Dr know! But still I’ve just never lost any mucus plug until at least 38 weeks with my other two babies, so it was kinda unexpected/shocking to see a little piece of it today (I’m 24 weeks), and even though I know logically it grows back and it’s fine, Google still freaks me out saying it’s not “normal” 😐🥴 Anyone else ever had that happen? Maybe it’s just because it’s my 3rd baby?

I've had some of it come out but I also had a threatened miscarriage and have been passing a significantly large subchorionic hematoma for a month now. Are you sure it was mucus plug and not a smaller SCH passing? Either way, if your cervix is closed you should be good. Hope you get some answers and relief from the anxiety of it all! For reference I'm at 23w now and baby is still healthy and growing.

My doctor told me at my last appointment that after having your first baby your cervix actually changes shape and is never 100% closed the way it was prior so I’m sure it’s not unheard of to have lost a piece of it already. I’d only be concerned if you started leaking water. (or contracting obv)

I lost mine at 16 weeks this pregnancy. I sent the nurse a picture and she said get to the hospital immediately (because there was a little brown she thought was dried blood). It ended up being a freak out for nothing. I had cerclage stitch at 12 weeks so they blamed that 4 weeks later. I’m doing fine now.

Thank yall! I haven’t had any contractions or water leaking or anything so I think I’m good, but I’ll def have my dr check today! It was a super small piece, definitely wasn’t the whole thing, so I hear that’s pretty normal in later pregnancies! 🙏🏻

Dr said all is good 🥰
So I am 16 weeks and 5 days now and I want to try to prepare myself for what's to come. I have had mixed reactions to the idea of watching child birth docs/TV shows such as one born every minute. What do people think? I have never seen the show before myself, Will this be helpful or am I going to scare myself? 😂😂

I’ve got a small fibroid but even though it’s small the consultant still recommended I don’t home birth. The home birth team don’t seam concerned and are still happy for me to go ahead…. it’s higher risk of haemorrhaging but after doing research I can actively manage this by getting the placenta out straight away… I’m not worried, if I have to go to hospital so be it ,but I’d rather try to continue with a home birth as planned. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Baby has been engaged at every scan from 28 weeks, last one at 36 weeks and was 3/5 engaged!
Last night I fet baby move and im sure theyve turned breach, whole bottom of my stomach feels empty, kicks feel like they're in my lower tummy and rock hard under my ribs.
I have another growth scan tomorrow and was scheduled for a sweep straight after but I dont think that will go ahead now.
Can baby be turned this far along still?
Absolutely petrified of the thought of a cesarean, (i actually passed out at them just describing one when I went to labour classes with my first born)
