bye bye mucus plug

[dosergirl]

i have been trying not to think about labor at all. it was making me crazy haha. but...this morning when i went pee i wiped and saw a little blood. it was bright red. sadly i was so annoyed recently with having nothing happen i didn't really look til i went to flush. so, whatever, i mean, good sign if anything.

then the past two times i have gone i have clearly been wiping away my mucus plug. thick booger like globs tinged with brown and pink.

i am excited but at the same time trying to just stay busy cause i know full well i could still be weeks from labor.

[octobermoon]

Cool! With my first, I started losing my mucous plug on a Wed night and went into labor on Fri night.

go mama go, go mama go! beautiful night for baby bearing, thunderstorms and lightening. sending you some baby vibes from the south shore.:

I lost mine and went into labor 18 hours later. I was 40 +5. I was feeling good about not going to much longer...but at I still did not get my hopes up. In fact I forgot to tell my Midwife because I had a appointment the next morning. Little did I know I was going into the BC to labor instead of my 41 week exam.:

i have been losing it in bits for 24 hours now. i am not getting my hopes up really. i do think i will have the baby before or on my due date , but that is just my intuition.

nothing else is different, i don't think. i have been having random twinges way down low for about a week or two. maybe i got a slight back pain 15 minutes ago. haha. either my body handles things really well or i am just slow. again, trying to just let things happen and not over think and get myself all anxious.
thinking shopping today so i am walking but also distracted

i hear ya..... shopping for me too today, i need a distraction as well. nothing has been happening on my end for a couple of days. i will have days where it seems things are picking up and then it all stops, zero, zip, nada. cervix feels puffy again and not thin like before....IDK! i am starting to worry, what if my body doesn't start up, what if i am holding the baby back? i don't want to go there but i still do at times. so anyway my job is trying to relax and let go and be open to whatever. good luck!

I lost mine yesterday morning (Sat) and am also way too excited but nothing going on yet as far as I can tell. Lots of random pains in the cervix but no contractions - I think...I haven't ever really been sure about feeling BHs either. I've been going for lots of walks to try to keep things moving. It is sooooo hard to wait now isn't it?
