Please help me lol
I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant. Over the last 3–4 days I’ve had a lot more thick, jelly-like mucus/cervical discharge than usual, coming away in quite large amounts. I’ve also been having cramps and a lot of pressure, loose stools (around 4 times today), and I’ve suddenly lost my appetite as nothing seems appealing. I’m sleeping very badly because I’m constantly waking up uncomfortable and I’m extremely tired and groggy.
My first baby,was small and born at 37 weeks. This baby has also consistently measured small. At my growth scan today, he was around the 5th percentile and weighed roughly 5-something lbs. They said he may just be constitutionally small as I’m small and Arabella was too. They did an extra blood-flow/Doppler check for reassurance and it was completely normal. I’m having another growth scan because he isn’t growing quite as much as they’d like. I’m wondering whether everything together could mean I’m likely to go into labour early again?

It could be your mucus plug that you've been seeing? I'd be going to get checked out for the midwife's opinion. 8b can't speak to early labour, but it certainly sounds like your body's getting ready for birth! Who knows if it's another 3 weeks or 3 days? X

Reduced movement
I’ve had reduced movement since yesterday, I went to the hospital on Thursday and they did the ctg and everything was normal, I went to my routine check up today and the midwife sent me back to the hospital as I still had reduced movement.
The put the ctg back on and everything showing fine and they have referred me for a scan but they aren’t sure when that will be. but silly me didn’t ask why I wasn’t feeling the movement. I was told at my 20 week scan that i have an anterior placement so I’m assuming it because of that and she’s just lied in a funny way . I’m 28 weeks today.
Can people share there experiences or thought please 🙏🏼

First scan
So I went for my first viability scan thinking I was about 6 weeks and 2 days. She said it’s measuring 1.3mm and we saw a heartbeat!! But she thinks I’m under 6 weeks pregnant because of how small it is. I don’t really get it though because I know when I ovulated🤣 any thoughts? So much anxiety has been lifted since I’ve seen this wow. Think I’ll go back at 9 weeks!

First scan - sack visible but no baby
Hi all. I went for a scan when I was 6 weeks and 2 days. They initially couldn't see anything and then they could only see a sack but not a baby. They have booked me in for anothet scan in 2 weeks. Anyone else have a similar experience? I am spiralling a little.

Unmedicated VBAC with chunky 9lb7 and a half baby 😃
Don’t be pressured by growth scans, your body can birth big babies 💪🏽
My biggest piece of advice is tens machine, gas and air and birthing comb combined 😅 oh and so much trust in your body’s capability! X
