My mucus plug fell out 1hr before I started labour. I was in active labour for 197.5hrs/8 days. My water broke 9hrs before my daughter was born.

1 week later

4 days

My mucus plug came out around 4am and I gave birth at 6:32am😂

My mucus plug came out 3-4 days before I delivered. And the amount of time from water breaking to delivery has been different for each kid.
1st- water broken by doctor at 7 am- born at 11:30am.
2nd- water broken by doctor at 12am- born 6:20 am
3rd- water broke at home at 9pm- born at 4:30am
4th- water broke at home at 5pm- born at 4:40am
I lost my mucus plug with all of them a few days before they arrived

About 6.5 hrs

So both times my waters never broke, first time they broke my waters at about 2am and I had her at 6, second time home birth everything happened naturally, my mucus plug was coming out all week but I’d say my contractions regularly started ever half hour 3pm on the Thursday and I had her 6am Friday, but I slept at least 4 hours of that

I was in labour from 10pm until 2:59am, had my waters broken at the hospital.

Waters broken by doctor at 9am, baby born at 11.20am

Full 24hrs and almost 4 hours of pushing.
Induced at 8am, had baby out the following morning at 11:59am

Both times I lost my plug in bits over a few days before the birth.

With my first, he was born 4-5 hours after my waters broke.

With my second my waters never broke and he was born in the sac 😅

Is diarrhea common in the third trimester?

I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?

Extremely vivid nightmares?

I’m currently 7 weeks PP and the wee one has been going through his 6-8 week crisis so I’m extra tired but the last couple of nights I’ve started having horribly and extremely vivid nightmares all related to baby - to the point I will wake up talking or crying or doing sudden movements. Anyone experienced something similar? Tonight I didn’t even remember falling asleep in between feeds and almost thought I had woken the baby up from how badly I jerked
