Snacks, thanks for the labour vibes, think they helped. My plug fell out today at around 1:30 PM been getting tightening and light pain. I'm not sure whats happening.
I can feel JB moving lots and when it does sometimes it hurts. can anyone shed some light?
The plug was huge and i had mucusy stringy stuff before and after it fell out.
Hooray! It certainly does sound like Jelly bean might be making his/her presence felt! If your plug has come loose, that means that your cervix is ripening - see, it CAN happen naturally for you! All the more reason for you to stick to your guns.
From memory, those first pains were really distracting and very exciting. But, if you're after some advice (LOL, sorry, I'm going to give it to you anyway ) do try to rest while they're not too painful. And don't forget to eat and drink. Maybe if you're not able to rest, do a little bit of walking or bouncing if you've got a fitball.
Your little Jellybean will be here very soon!!!
ETA: sorry to sound like a know-all - I'm just very excited for you
Jojo, you can loose your plug sometimes weeks before labour begins. However, given that you are already due you won't be waiting that long
Your plug comes out as a result of your cervix thinning out/effacing and from dilating a little. Your cervix may feel a little tender as it is opening up which is why the movements from bub may be uncomfortable down there.
If the tightenings become too uncomfortable have yourself a nice warm bath. Stay at home as long as possible, it's the best place for you to be.
Thanks Trish, i'm at my parents. DH is at work and wont finish untill around 12:30. I'm so looking forward to meeting my bubba. Sometimes i get pressure that bad i feel like i'm going to wet myself.
Everything is sounding really positive that you'll be meeting your bub very soon. The pressure would be bub moving down the pelvis more, which is great. Good luck with it all. Sending lots of labour vibes your way.
Wooohooooo!!!! Yay i'm going to meet my bubba soon.
I'm not sure if it's contractions though cause the tightening only hurts if JB is moving. Had a little back pain and some pain between my legs like i've been walking on a log and fallen with one leg on each side. Had some cervical pain also. JB is moving heaps, i thought movement lessens as labor approaches?
Hi guys thanks but...
I'm still childless. Jb doesn't want to come out.
Was at hospital last night thought my waters may have broken, but the swab revealed i was wrong.
Turns out it was just watery discharge??? Heaps of the stuff.
I feel like JB doesn't want me, like i'm being teased. I know it's silly but i was crying all morning.
Have suffered deppression in the past OB aware.
The watery discharge is a good sign too hun. Your body is still working away. Your baby will be here soon. Just try to enjoy what time you have left just you and your husband. Pretty soon you will be a family of 3 and there will never be alone time again
