Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thanks everyone. Today is the due date and nothing going on other than the usual b hicks and achy back. Did anyone else find the 3rd to take longer to get going? Maybe it's just that the b hicks are stronger and it seems like it takes longer bc you notice.

I have had two children and I am with Dragonhart and Minding Mum. No show with either labour . WIth first child my waters had to be broken and I was already 8-9 cm dilated. With second child my waters broke when I was already well into labour, in fact about 2 mins before he came flying out !

Hello, I was in established labour about 6-7cm when I had a 'show'. I remember thinking what the feck is that ! My good friend had said that when she had the 'show' it like a small plug of mucus....mine on the other hand seemed to be the size of a dinner plate and minging !!!!!
