36 weeks and 3 days, lost mucus plug. How long after did you give birth?

Hi, I'm pretty sure I've just had a show and lost my plug. I've been getting period type pains for the last 3 days before that, which I just presumed were Braxton hicks. I'm not having any sharp pains tonight but it's put me on high alert, how long after you lost your plug did you give birth? I'm really hoping she holds on another 4 days until I'm 37 weeks and after this heatwave as well xx

Do we think this name is a bit too common?

When I was pregnant with my son, Margot was up there as one of the girls names we both liked but I can’t work out if it’s too popular/obvious. (We live in SW London for reference)

Coil fitted during planned section

Has anyone had experience of having a coil put in during a planned c section? Any pros or cons I should know about? I've never had a coil before

Early gender scan

I got a early gender scan at 16 weeks and was told it was a girl. I’m just nervous that at my 20 week scan they will tell me it’s a boy. Has this happened to anyone else before.

False starts

Anyone dealt with false starts? How long did it last for you? My baby is STILL having them, she’s 13 months and has done since about 5 months. Pretty much every single night since then 😭😭😭 I’m so done with it now I thought she’d have stopped by this age 😩

Chosen hospital

I was told at my first midwife appointment that I can choose what hospital I would like to have my baby at explaining I wanted Broomfield. Now at 29 weeks I’ve asked about having my baby at Broomfield hospital in Chelmsford where I had my first. But have been declined and will have to have my baby at Colchester where I live. The childcare we have for my first for when I give birth is in Chelmsford and we need to drop him off. I really do not want to have my baby at Colchester and I’m at a loose end of where to find help on what to do. I’ve had a different midwife at all of my appointments so far and just feel as though I’m not getting the support and help that I need. If anyone knows of what to do or where to ask for help that would be much appreciated, it’s causing me lots of anxiety & stress 😣

Has anyone actually had a positive induction?! Ive never heard of 1!

Please tell me if you have experienced a positive induction, what week you were when induced and why you were induced. Ive not heard a single good story
My induction would only be due to being too far overdue.
