I'm currently 36+4 with first baby, at my 34 week midwife appointment she said that baby was head down and nicely engaged at 2/5 and that baby was on the left with their back to the bump. At my 36 week appointment I had a different midwife and she didn't say anything about baby's position and hasn't published my notes on badger notes so don't know if anything changed.
On Tuesday I think I started to lose my mucus plug, but it wasn't streaked with blood or anything, and this week I've been so uncomfortable. Sorry if TMI but I've been needing to constantly go to the bathroom for number 2 2/3 times a day, when usually it's just the once a day, I've also had diarrhea. I've also had on and off lower back pain specifically on my left side and abdominal cramps which has really been putting me off food and just made me vomit. The pains however are not regular just at random times a day and waking me up early in the morning which I've been managing with a hot water bottle.
Does it sound like labour is approaching or am I just being hopeful/this is just normal last month of pregnancy uncomfortableness? Definitely not feeling ready as my partner is still doing up our bedroom and I doubt he'll be done until next week 😱
