I'm 37+4 and for the last 2 weeks Iv been loosing bits of my plug.
Wednesday I lost more and since Iv been ever so moody and emotional. The last 2 nights Iv been unable to sleep because I'm in pain on and off in my back, down there and down my legs. And I'm STARVING.
Please please tell me this means labour is on the way 😔 not sure I can take weeks of feeling like this.
How did everyone else's labour start?

Hiii it can be really uncomfortable towards the end ! And trying to sleep can be frustrating! I'm currently 32 weeks with baby no3! There are a few nights where I've tried to sit on the sofa sleeping as I'm soo uncomfy! My first labour started at midnight and I was woke up by the pain- I spent a few hours trying to get through them and put a film on until I needed to wake my husband, the second time it was 2pm in the day - I had a bit or bloody discharge and went to be checked at the hospital - I was in early labour about 2 cm and I think about 8-9pm I had a sweep that brought things on fast and delivered at 11.47pm. ! Maybe try drinking a small glass of milk before bed- or a bit of lavander spray to relax a little x

@lorza03 it's horrid - I feel so grumpy 😅. Just want the baby out of me! Did you go over with yours? So you know what you're having this time round? I know it will all be worth it. Just feel slightly depressed at the thought of a couple more weeks of uncomfortableness x

I feel the same some days.....like I don’t know how I’m meant to carry on , and that wanting baby out ! Is totally normal and understandable. I was 39+5 with my 1st and 38 weeks with my 2nd. But my waters didn’t break either time and had to be done for me. Yes 😀 having a boy was strange finding out the sex as was a suprise the times before. But this is 3rd and final so thought it would be nice to know. Did you find out what baby is ? You’ll feel so light when your not carrying all the weight around anymore x

It's crazy how pregnancy can make you feel every single emotion out there 😅. Oh wow congratulations a little boy how lovely 😍. Are your other children excited for the new addition?
Yeah I found out. I was really poorly for the first 5 months so at 16weeks we had an early scan to find out as I thought it would cheer me up. Obviously I was over the moon we found out I was having a girl but didn't make me feel better 😂. I bet you feel like a feather after! Iv gained 4 stone during pregnancy. Can't wait to try and shift it hahah! X

I felt like this and DS arrived at 40+4. Sorry!

lorza03 · 06/03/2019 20:23

Oh no sorry to hear you didn't have a good start during your pregnancy. Well my little girl insist the baby is a girl, but its definitely not, and my son who is prob a bit to young to comprehend what's about to happen ! My daughter is amazing she's so cute and adorable sometimes. Never fails to impress me some way or another. Same here I always have gained lots of weight during pregnancy m, my 2nd I only gained 2 stone, but this time and the 1st I've put on so much! I shall be glad to be out with the pushchair and walk it all off x x what's your DD ?

shiny888 · 07/03/2019 21:34

Oh that's so sweet! I bet she will be so attentive when the LO arrives 😍. Will you have any more after this?
Due date is 21st March. When's yours?
Had an examination today and everything is all closed up still which is disheartening having these pains for no reason haha x

I've been having regular braxton hicks on an evening for the last 3 weeks and I've started losing small bits of weight plug yesterday and true day before. I've had two sweeps (both not terribly successful with the midwife yesterday commenting 'you're nowhere near ready'). My due date is today and I've had severe pgp (can't really bear weight anymore). You carry on because there is no alternative.

I've got induction booked next Friday if nothing happens... not sure how to get through another week. And I really don't want induction as I hear bad things about epidurals and pgp causing more long term problems!

I've been really emotional since the first sweep failed on Monday.

But I rant!!
