Just reached home from my 36th week appointment with my Obstetrician - she told me I'm 0% dilated and that my mucus plug is 50% intact. I was wondering if there's anybody in the same boat as I am.

I'm 6 weeks pp and since about 1 week pp noticed a bruised feeling under the clitoris area (I.e not surface level but kinda behind it). I feel it when squeezing pelvic floor or when leaning forwards seated. No change in pain level since first felt it. I assume it's general trauma to the area during birth (also baby was born with forceps). Anyone else have a similar experience? 😅
