you may not make it to induction!  when did you lose it?  i think if the entire plug pops out, the time may be nearer.  ooooo, girlfriend is nesting!!!  haha!!!  but i guess you have no choice to make the house spotless as one way or another, baby will be home by the end of the week!!  exciting!!

i had weird gastrointestinal sharp pains in my lower back around to my tummy today.  i had 3 of them only lasting about 10-15 seconds each.  it was like nothing that i have experienced yet.  i don't know if it was a contraction or what.  it hurt a bit and was quite uncomfortable.  was nothing like BH.  i had 3 in about an hour, but that was over 3 hours ago and nothing has happened since.  has anyone else experienced this?

Ive completely lost my plug...it looked like a big piece of snot...sooo gross looking. I feel the same like if i take a poop he is gonna come out with it. Lots and Lots of pressure and when you sit you feel like your sitting on there head. Will update and talk more tomorrow..have to clean this house!

[krissyy]

thank goodness!  i feel much better to know that...i think i actually do remember someone saying that it can grow back and re-attach itself.  i'm definitely losing it in pieces.  i've seen pictures of what the whole plug looks like and this looks like a much smaller, skinnier version of it.  it's funny because i now feel like i am reliving the ttc days when i'm constantly analyzing cm and looking in the toilet after i pee and at the tp after i wipe!  

i'm glad that everything is okay with you...that boy is ready to come out!!!  he's kickingin attempts to put you in labor!  every time you go to the hospital he probably thinks, "oh this is it!!!!"  i think little girl is anxious to come out of me ... she is always pushing and stretching like she is running out of room.  i feel so bad for her!!  she is probably flicking my plug in attempts to get out!

Yeap! sounds like your mucous plug hun!.....Mine wasnt ever brown , it was more yellowish/green & snot looking , but apparently it can take on many forms LOL....My doctor told me though that if you only lose pieces of your plug it can actually grow back and keep re-attaching itself in some cases .....I would call your doctor or L&D and let them know you've lost it , just in case and see if they seem concerned at all , I know my doctor wasnt , but said it was a good thing to have on record as soon as it happens......Are you having any other symptoms?.......Hope you can wait it out a few more weeks , but even a few more days for you is full-term so dont even stress over it!.....Make sure to keep us posted! You might be the first one to go afterall hehe! :)

Quick Update while im here , and then i'll catch up on posts later tommorow

I ended up back in the hospital last night , yet again lol ....I didnt think I was having contractions , but I was just in a bit of pain & felt like I was losing alot more fluid than normal.....so out we go , and I was having contractions that were actualy picking up on the monitor , HOWEVER lol they are due to having IU ( Irritable Uterus) which I for sure have now , because it would be when he would move or kick that the contractions would get picked up , so what happens I guess is when he moves or kicks it makes my uterus mad and therefore it contracts , but its not a contraction that makes me dilate or anything because its not my body doing it , its the baby LOL.....I see my doctor on Tuesday & will find out more info ,  but im supposed to stay off my feet for another week at least because with IU it can turn into real contractions coupled with the pressure of the baby when walking or doing activities....and I just need to stay hydrated!......Other than that were good! lol .....I was leaking Amniotic Fluid , just more dishcharge than normal because now the baby is so much lower so thats good :)

Anyways i'll be back to catch up on posts over the next few days , hope everyone is doing good :)
