38 weeks constant period pains & lost mucous plug

[Sarahjsxx]

Hello,
I'm exactly 38 weeks today and due to have c section next Tuesday. I've had braxton hicks for weeks and weeks, recently have been having them in the night. Last night I had strong ones and period pains, was fine today until around 6pm started having constant period pains and my mucous plug has come out in parts (tmi)
I called triage and they said I can come in if I want to, but im not having contractions exactly, it's just constant period pains and pain in my back/bum
Did anyone else have this and it went away?

I'm at the hospital now, seen a lovely midwife and it turns out I'm 2cm dilated and having my c section today x

@Sarahjsxx aww bless good luck with c section x

@Sarahjsxx wonderful news. We'll want a picture of the baby that is in such a hurry to join the family 💗

Glad you went back! Hope all went well today! Congratulations on your little one 🥰

Oh thank you so much for the lovely messages and helpful comments, very glad I went back or I'd have probably been home in agony still 😩 baby was born just after lunchtime today

Here he is - with no name yet!

Huge congratulations OP, he’s beautiful. Well done for being strong and insisting they saw you, it’s shameful they treat you this way. But you did it, you brought him safely into the world!

Many congratulations and welcome to your beautiful baby boy x

Awwwwwwwww
such a sweet pea
glad it all went well in the end OP

Aah what a beautiful baby. Massive congratulations to you all.Xx

Congratulations, what a sweetie 💙

Congratulations!

Wonderful news! And look at that lovely head of hair :-)

Hope your recovery will go smoothly.

Thank you so much 💗❤️💗

And yes I think the main rule here is to just follow your instincts and advocate for yourself I think I was in denial that I was in labour aswell

@Sarahjsxx aww bless him congratulations hun and happy birthday to him x

Congratulations he is beautiful

Congratulations, what a beautiful little boy! I'm always slightly envious of babies born with hair - mine were all bald! Well done on pushing to get seen - you know your own body better than anyone 🙂💐
