Hey!
I am 37+6. Last night I had the most intense pelvic pressure/contractions which has eased this morning (awful awful lightening crotch/painful contractions/felt like I needed to go to the loo/backache). I feel so sick this morning and not much appetite, I’ve had an upset belly for a few days. Yesterday I could NOT physically stop crying uncontrollably and just wanted my husband close. Baby has really dropped & although I know these symptoms are non specifically indicators of imminent labour this is my second baby and I know my body is getting ready. This morning I lost some of what looks like my mucous plug (the consistency is like the jelly you used to get in the alien eggs). I’ve lost small parts of this a few times over a few weeks now.
My question is; does this look like my mucous plug as mine looked a little less clear last time. And secondly does any one else have stories of feeling this way and how long it took to go into spontaneous labour? From my last experience I didn’t feel this much pelvic pressure/sick until I was in latent phase but I definitely felt different overall in the final week of my pregnancy, however I was induced at 39 weeks so I am not sure when I would have gone into labour naturally. This is my third pregnancy and second vaginal birth. Thanks 💖
