Is this my mucous plug?

I’m 37 weeks and four days pregnant. I have a induction date for Wednesday it hurts to walk. I feel like I’m walking on him and just got told by the doctor that most women’s water do not break and they still go into labor so now I’m worried because I feel like I don’t know the difference from Braxton Hicks to contractions, i’m a hour away from my hospital so I’m worried about not making there in time if I just wait it out

New trend throwback 1st scan

As our May babies turn one, here’s a little throwback to my first scan.
29th November — only a week after finding out, and I was already 14 weeks + 5 days.
Didn’t even get a first trimester moment.
Now my tiny peanut is almost one and my heart can’t handle it.

Dates

Did dates help anyone with bringing on labour? I have started eating them and couldn’t do them by themselves so sharing a way I have found I can eat them….

⭐️ Put the dates in boiling water for 10 minutes and remove the skin and pip.

⭐️ Blend them down and add a large tablespoon of crunch biscoff

I managed to eat it all no problem 😂

Colostrum collecting

I’ve been collecting colostrum for two weeks now and it always causes a bit of cramping. Tonight the cramping it’s caused is so intense and really hurting. I’ve stopped collecting but have heard it can induce labour. Anyone had intense cramping after collection and not gone into labour? I’m 39 weeks so happy if it is labour just want to be prepared

Going mad

I think Im going mad, losing my mind, insane. I am sat in bed worrying about going to sleep. We have a light projector in our bedroom for baby, it plays white noise, has a galaxy light projection etc. Never ever have I just heard what I heard from it. I swear to god I heard someone talking through it but I feel like it’s absolute madness because how is that even possible? Someone genuinely just talking through it I even had my earplugs in so it was loud. I had just turned the music off. I woke my partner up and said someone is talking through it then it made a strange beeping noise that it has NEVER made before once I mentioned it to my partner. Im completely freaking out. My partner thinks Im mad. Im starting to think Im mad because surely it isn’t even possible right? This has never happened before and always helpful to use to help my baby sleep. Wtf. I sound insane right now Im sure. Ive completely unplugged it lol. I think Im completely buggered on paint fumes 😂😂😂

39+4

I had a stretch and sweep Thursday still nothing has happened. I am having another one Monday then Sunday and then booked in for an induction on the 13th of May which I really didn’t want to happen. Please can I get some advice how I can bring labour on naturally…

Anomaly scan

I had a anomaly scan at 19+5 weeks and it shows head circumference 35% and Abdomen circumference 78%, I am worried about 78% AC, what should I do next? Sonographer didn’t say that they are worried.
