More tmi (gross) I think its definitely my mucous plug/bloody show. It has to be. I mean...if you've lost yours, what was it like? More tmi I'm having stringy mucous streaked with blood. I never had a big clump last time. That description sounds exactly like bloody show/mucus plug. My midwife wanted to know asap if it was bloody. The mucus plug consistency is like a booger. 🤢

Yogurt mine was thicker mucous with strings of blood at first about 4cm dialated then thinner and waterier mucous with a red/pink look as i continued to dialate to about 6cm. This was all while having mild 6 to 8 minute apart contractions. It happened pretty much the same way both times.

Yogurt The booger description was pretty accurate for me. I think mine was at about 39 weeks and I had to be induced at 41 weeks, so it did not indicate labor for me. Here’s hoping you have a bit longer!

I went to L&D and I'm 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. They are keeping me for monitoring. I doubt I'll be going back to work though.

Yogurt I don't know if it's helpful or not but last week I lost a chunk of my mucus plug. It wasn't blood tinged but very snot like. No labor here yet so I know sometimes you can lose it and have weeks before labor starts.

Yogurt fx baby can stay put a while longer! FWIW I was fully effaced and up to 3 cm for weeks with my first, lost my mucus plug about a week ahead of delivery for each kid. If he comes, he comes, some of us do cook our babies faster than others. Wishing you both the best either way!

I took a nap this afternoon but got woken up when MH got home because the dog freaked of course. That 30 minutes helped though, I hardly slept at all last night.
I also went and picked up a changing table from FB this morning and it was heavier and harder to squeeze in the car than I expected, and my body is not happy!

pambee I’m in your boat. I haven’t been sleeping well due to my new cold and my ribcage feeling like it is breaking in half. I’m so thankful that H offered to do bath and bedtime and order take out for dinner. I’m contemplating taking a unisom tonight so I can get some good rest.

So I posted on general discussion and I know many saw it there. Baby is here! Another crazy labor and I will write up my birth story soon.
Basically I went from sitting at a 4 for hours and hours to going to a 10 in about 20 min. 11 minutes after they told me I was "complete" he was here.
I missed the epi AGAIN. Little dude is up in the NICU getting some help and I'm going to nap for a min before I have to pump.
