I don't know how dilated/effaced I am but I'm ready to get the ball rolling! I'm gonna try for an unmedicated VBAC this time. All prayers and well wishes are welcomed! Sending mine your way. 🤗

    @@crystalglopez91623 I ended up giving birth at 41+5 🥴 I went to the hospital bc I was ready to get the baby out no matter what! 😂 Turns out I was already 5cm dilated and my water had broken but I didn't feel it happen. I got to 7 cm without meds until I could feel my C-section scar with each contraction, which was often and long by that point. So I got an epidural right around 8cm and I'm so glad I did. The C-section scar pain was the absolute worst, I wasn't mentally prepared for that. I ended up having baby girl a few hours later. They took her to the NICU for observation bc we didn't know how long she went without amniotic fluid, but thank God she was just fine and we were able to bring her home after a few days. She turns 1 next week 😍 thanks for asking!

    I just want to say thank you for gently and kindly explaining things like the mucus plug. I always feel silly, like shouldn’t I know these things already; like, my friend recently gave birth and was telling her birth story to me and a couple other ladies and EVERYONE but me understand all the terms, whereas I was secretly making a note in my head to google stuff later. But when you started just lovingly explaining what it was and didn’t assume everyone knows - dang that hit me hard and I was SO relieved. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and explaining everything so kindly.

    Plz keep in mind that every pregnancy is different. Mine did not go thos way as my contractions ce so fast and way earlier than they were supposed to. The doc told me to just relax and take a bath.... Smh! I was already going into labor and almost hady baby at home had I listened to the doc! Listen to your body.

    I am 30 weeks pregnant but Im already getting signs. I thought I was losing my mucus plug a couple months ago but I believe it was just clear sticky discharge. But today I started having pieces of yellow thick stuff coming out but not a whole lot. She's already weighing in about 5 ibs. And I feel like I will be having her soon. This is my 3rd baby, 5th pregnancy. And my instincts just say it's soon.

    I’m 35+6 and just lost some mucus plug today. Came right after a little light cramping, with a light pink tinge. My cervix is open and I’m dilated 1cm. First baby and I have a strong feeling he’ll be here a couple of weeks before his due date. The anxiety and nervousness is real…😅 What’s also real is lightning crotch. 🙈

I’ve been having steady contractions that last most of the day with cramping and moderate back pain going on 5 days. I just had what sounds like mucous plug come away this morning. Cloudy jelly like with a tinge of brown. You said notify people, do you mean that I should notify my doctor NOW? My next appt is Monday. This will be my first delivery after a mc.

Are we talking about the size of, say a cherry, or are we talking about something closer to, say a kiwi? #2 How long might one expect early labor to last. You mention several times that it can be a while, but what does that mean? Hours? Days?

    I lost my mucus plug 2 weeks before my scheduled c section (baby way in the most awkward breech position and despite being turned in utero, she flipped right back around ... side note she is now 8 years old and stubborn as ever, doing things HER way lol). I had a scheduled check up that day and freaked out, showed the midwife my sanitary pad with mucus plug on it, didn’t even know it was a thing lol. Midwife said it’s all good, and that in the far out tribes in Africa etc the mucus plug is when the pregnant woman starts walking to the nearest village, as it may take her a few days on foot to get there. I thought that was super interesting. I had a super slow labour for 2 weeks but nothing major, it was irritating rather than painful. And baby held on in there until c section day.
