could it be a part show??

August 11, 2008

hi dr and ladies!! im a little puzzled right now. this morning i had a spotting, light watery pinkish brown. a little cramping but not alot, just my usual braxton hicks. i went to pee about a hour ago and when wiped with tissue noticed ewcm! no blood streaks , just clear and super stretchy like fertile cm. ive been having back cramping scince but nothing major, and barxtons seem strong , im not 100% if they r regular as havnt really been timing them but would say ive had about 4 'braxtons' in the past hour.i am 34 weeks pregnant, its mt 3rd baby , youngest is 7yrs old so been a while and i dont remember having a 'show' with previous babies i just had waters break and full labour start so not sure what to look out for lol any ideas??

hi claire....do you feel like my child move down at all????...thinking you might need to get the dr to check you out and wondering if you are starting to lose the mucas plug also....esp being your 3rd it can go into labor earlier but getting your cervix check via dr's visit would be wise for now and maybe strict bed rest also esp now to get to the 37 wk at least....

August 11, 2008

Im thinking the same thing, its best to call your doctor asap with any spotting, especially after 20+ weeks, and you are 34 so I would def call. Let them know about the braxton hicks and stuff, they will im sure want you to come in.

Please keep us updated and wishing you the best!!!!

thanx jolene, i just went into big time labour with boys so not sure what the build up is like, weird to say i know..lol im just thinking u guys might be right as this pregnancy is with different father to the boys as they r from my previous relationship ! arggghhh think i should call hospital or wait n see whats going on tomorrow?

August 11, 2008

Good luck, let us know what your doctor says :)

Hey Claire...it could be your mucus plug or just mucus. I had tons of mucus late in pregnancy and thought it was all part of my plug but my doc said I just produced lots of cervical mucus and all was fine. If you are having cramping try to sit down and drink a glass of water. B/H contractions usually go away with rest and hydration. If they don't and they still are in a consistent pattern then I would call you doc. Keep us posted. Hugs!

hi sis love!!!! yep get the dr to check it out..esp being 34 wks lil early for him...get on strict bed rest until you can see the dr or the midwife...don't do anything for now ok...maybe a simple visit to the A&E and they can tell and plug you up on the machines and see if you are having true contractions. I think you are getting very close...I know I'm not a dr but it's a feeling I have...keep me posted ok sis!!!!

thanx fran, im just worried as my cervix has started to open already and last check i was 3cm but opening like a funnel if u like as frount was wider than back or something like that, but its alot deeper than it was so the back part has started opening too, on my first check the doc could only sink half of finger tip into cervix but at last check she could get aprox 2 cm into cervix and was 3cm wide.im not gonna even think about checking myself incase i start something off.

angel im thinking im not going to be far off too, u watch i will go over dates now we have said that..lol id like him t stay put for another 2 or 3 weeks if we can tho. but i been looking and some ladies loose plug but labour dont begin until another 3 - 4 weeks so im praying its that if anything. it was deffo ewcm as it was clear n stretchy, not like the usual cm i have been having. im doing nothing for a week or 2 now..lol colin has his summer leave so his home to sort whatever needs sorting..lol

August 11, 2008

Hey Claire....I'm one of them.....lost it and 3-4 weeks later I delivered. So one never knows. I'm more concerned with the B/H contractions..... are you still having them? When do you see the doc next?

August 11, 2008

yep dear I would stay clear of doing a single thing and place yourself on bed rest and contact the dr...hopefully my lil man will stay in there for another 3 wks...usually they will but I would rather you be safe than sorry if this is going on then the dr can help you more than we can....what would you tell me if I was in your place....mmmmmmm...loves you dear!!!!

August 11, 2008

im not due for check up until next week! i been having them (B/H's)quite strong but irregular for a weeks now, but seemed like my uterus was super tight while they were happening after that bit of yukkie when i went toilet, and i have a bit of a niggle in my lower back more than likely reading into nothing but thought id ask u ladies as ur all so fab xx.

August 11, 2008

Hey Claire just checking in with you.. any news?

August 13, 2008

hi ladies! thankyou so much for ur warm thoughts and damn just being so lovely!!

well all seems ok for now, i gotta be on rest for 2 weeks but will pop on to say hi, my cervix is really coming along and is alot lower than b4 so thats a bit worrying but ok, i only have lost part of my mucus plug so she said it may come away in bits or in one last final glob or not at all until waters go, so not any wiser there..lolcolin is being great and cooking and cleaning and doing stuff with boys so i get rest, i feel so bad as its his leave from army for summer and b4 afgan! ( he goes afgan october 15th for thoses who didnt know)so basicly lots of rest n no stressing and he should hopefully stay put for another mth.. i have to be examed in another 2 weeks and if cervix is anymore 'ready' i will be given steroids to help lil guy , but im praying it wont come to that, anyway will keep u all in the know and thankyou so much, hope you are all well and loves n snuggs to u xxxxxxxx
