Hi All, just some advice as it was different with my DD. This is my second pregnancy and last night after getting out the bath I wiped myself and saw sticky mucus TMI. I had mild period pains and I mean very mild (mild even be psychological) and leaking a little bit when I cough (nothing major). Just wondered if anyone else had this? Also I feel like he is heavier on my cervix and slight pain when I stand up.

It could be anytime....it could be a couple of weeks. Mucus plugs can go and nothing.....that said are you leaking amniotic fluid or could it be wee?

Just because leaking amniotic fluid isnt a great thing to happen as it has potential for infection to get in there, i would keep a close eye on it and baby movment and if there is a reduction or increase in movment please get checked
