Could be today, could be a while longer I'm afraid. There isn't really a set time after mucus plug coming away, as some people don't lose it at all until baby is basically out, and others lose it bit by bit for a couple of weeks

I had all this last week after my sweep on Wednesday.
Still no signs of her arriving 😞
Booked in for induction tomorrow x

Sometimes the mucus plug can reform as well so it's not a reliable indicator at all I'm afraid, but I'm also down bad with pelvic girdle pain so I feel for ya 🥺

6 months post partum symptom?

So not sure if this is normal and this is so embarrassing for me to talk about but every time I go toilet to do number 2 there’s always blood. Is this normal?

Waters broke

39 weeks and after having false contractions and braxton hicks for the last week, my waters broke and don’t really feel any kind of tightening anymore. Baby is moving fine just feels strange to be leaking everywhere.
Everyone said it would be like trickling but it’s a lot of gushes that I wasn’t expecting. Is this normal for most?

Braxton hicks pains

Hey all, can someone please explain to me what Brixton hicks feel like/felt like to you? I never experienced them with my first, and I’ve never experienced menstrual cramping, as I’ve had people try compare it to that.

I just felt pain that shot all around the lower and upper section of my bump and round to my back, made me throw up in pain…idk if that is a Brixton hock or something else.

I also never went into labour with my first child either…

Baby girl names

We’ve just found out we’re having a girl 💕 but really struggling with names, my first is Ellie … this time I like things like Margot, Orla, Sofia, Lottie, Sienna … can anyone think of any names that are slightly different but nothing too complicated?!
