MUCUS PLUG OFFICIALY OUT
Girl, so this morning I went to the bathroom and noticed all this mucus stuff when I wiped. Sorry for the TMI. I'm guessing that's a good sign and labor is just around the corner for me. I have had pain down there and still wild menstrual cramp. I will keep you all updated throught the day. I have a feeling I won't make it past this weekend.........................
Good luck on your induction. Remember first time moms do not dilate quickly all the time. Do not beat yourself up. Your body will respond to the induction medication on its own time. Stay optimistic. Can't wait to hear about your successful delivery. Whether it be vaginal or C-section, your healthy baby is the greatest reward:)
I am glad that you are closer to seeing your healthy baby. However, I will let you know that the mucus plug can come out hours before delivery and sometimes 2 weeks before delivery. We, nurses and MDs on labor & delivery, NEVER put too much emphasis the mucus plug because it does not mean much. Make sure you don't go in to the hospital unless your amniotic fluid begins to leak ("your water breaking") or you begin to experience contractions that are about 5 minutes apart that you cannot talk through, or you experience bright red vaginal bleeding or excruciating pain. It is sad to see when a woman comes to labor & delivery and tells us her mucus plug has come out and nothing else is going on and she is discharged home after an hour because this does not signify that you are in labor. Those women seem so discouraged and it is truly sad to see. I wish you well. Take care.
Ari- I'm stalking you over here!!! Good LUCK... I'm so excited for you : ) Keep me posted...
I lost my mucus plug last thursday, i have menstrual cramps on and off and nothing yet:( hope something happens for you this weekend.
Thanks ladies, still having cramps and tinges pain, back ache too. We shall see....
