    I had a S and S done with DD on the Thursday (i apparantly was already two centimetres) had a session on acupuncture that afternoon. I started getting discharge similar to what you're describing on the Friday around lunch time and went in to labour Friday night / Saturday morning at 4am and my beautiful DD was here by 1.11pm Saturday afternoon.

    My advice, is have a bath relax, focus on your baby coming in to the world and fingers crossed something happens real soon for you, so rest up you'll need to conserve your energy, good luck with it all.
    ( By the way impatience is so normal lol, I posted almost the exact same post when i noticed the discharge too)

    Alish: get your butt off that couch and go for a walk!

    Nah seriously, if you have the energy (I know, big IF!) try and do some walking. It'll help.

    Had any change this afternoon?

    I had an S&S at 42 weeks. like you 1cm. plug started coming away the next morning and labour started that afternoon. It will only work if you're close to goign into labour anyway, so I'd suggest resting just in case you're about to labour.

    Mm that's a good point... could also explain why you want to chill out on the couch? Listen to your body

    PZ, you didn't offend me until your attempt to educate me on my own labour experience just now. I was just sharing my thoughts in general. I'm entitled to my opinion as are you. I'm sure you know I can be pretty sensitive when talking about birth so yeah. I am here to support Alish, not get caught up in a debate with you. That's all!

    If you're feeling tired, maybe rest! Have a lie down, see what that does. If you can still feel pains while you're resting, that's a good sign!
