39+5 have some questions

[Cmh1592]

Hey ladies. Have a few questions,
Firstly I'm 39+5. Last 3 days I've been having brown mucus stuff when I wipe, I'm guessing that is my plug? Sorry ftm here!
Also since then I have been getting "stabbing pains in my cervix" the only way I can describe it lol, what could this be? And thirdly today I am
100%sure baby has turned back to back. I've read some scary stuff about how more pain that can be to birth and the tearing is horrendous! Is there a way to move her around or not really? I do hope this baby comes soon! Planned for a water birth, that won't happen if I'm past 42 weeks  thanks in advance everyone 

I can't help on the first two points, but using a birth ball can help to turn a back-to-back baby.

Yes could be plug but that can reform so isn't always an indication of labour is imminent

Stabbing pains for me was pgp i.e. pelvis separating for me it happened from 25 weeks and I didn't have son until 40+6

All fours and upright sitting and not slouching on the sofa. Not something I had to do though.

Hi I need some advice I've just become pregnant after trying 13 years have a daughter of 14 years I've been on Morpeth tablets for 8 years for medical reason have all rods screws and bolts in my spine due to a Tumor I had on spine went to doctors yesterday he's taken me of my tablets straight away no help or support or whinging of them no other meds given for my pain got told by gp I've got to handle the side effects myself surely this is not right my back is very pain full without these meds as the doctor knows what can I do any advice

Hi op
The end is in sight!
The dreaded "fanny daggers"! Takes you by surprise but all normal I'm afraid!
This brown mucous I think is pretty common if I remember back to last year when I was at your stage. I seemed to have several plugs come away over the course of my last week.....some thicker, and more discoloured than others,

With regards to back to back I'm sure there's lots of time still to turn. I was the opposite and the bugger turned back to back on day 4 of labour, I thought he was going to push out the wrong hole! X
