Rest up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1365425 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:52:20 +0000 swedishfish 1365425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I'm glad the baby is A-OK! My BH contractions felt exactly like my real contractions before my water broke. I was 3.5 cm dilated for weeks. But those BH are working for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1365413 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:47:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1365413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: wow sounds like a lot going on. Glad everything looks good. I just wanted to chime in and say I lost my mucus plug about 5 weeks before I went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1365379 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:31:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 1365379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: holy cow! Talk about a crazy weekend!! So glad that baby is still cooking in there!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1365350 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:14:17 +0000 anonysquire 1365350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 minutes ago Edit </p> <p>I forgot to update. Saturday I lost 2 parts of my mucus plug. Sunday night I started having bleeding. Not gushing or anything but not spotting. Like period like but lighter? IF that makes sense. So I called my midwife and she said to take it easy and come in Monday but if it gets worse to go to the ER. So Monday I went to the midwife and got all checked up and stuff. Baby is doing great! HR is still 140 and they said super strong heart so that is good. Also baby moved to LOA position. Oh and I am freaking 3cm dilated! Again I know this could last like this for 10 more weeks. But things are happening up in der. And I have been having contractions I guess? They said that I am but I don't know. Yes I have been having BH all day lately and period cramping but I really kind of doubt they are contractions. Anyways so midwife gave me a prescription for magnesium and some unicorn root (WTH?) tincture to drink with juice 3 times a day and also a note for work to take it easier so hopefully the contractions will stop.</p> <p>But then the midwife wanted to get me an ultrasound since there was bleeding and she wanted to rule out placenta abruption. But of course me being me, I did not bring my wallet. Like I drove 20 miles without my license? So I said I can't have one today because I did not bring money. You have to pay $160 upfront for any ultrasounds there. But the ultrasound tech was so nice and said we could do a free one and only if he found something wrong would he have to charge me. He has a great memory because he instantly remembered that we are team green so he didn't let me see the gender. It might be because I was wearing the same pants as my 20 week appointment :/ But he did the ultrasound and said baby looked great and placenta looked great and the baby has a ton of hair! It showed up white on the screen. Now I am excited to see if that is true. I have had enough heartburn starting like day of conception, to last me a lifetime so hopefully it is true! Anyways so nothing was wrong with that so he didn't charge me! And now I am freaking out that nothing is ready here for a baby but my depression cycle is at the point where I have absolutely no motivation to do anything even though the world may be falling apart around me. So that was my weekend </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359787 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 15:54:51 +0000 lamariniere 1359787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed losing mine around weeks 36 and 37. Had bloody show and my water broke at 37+2. No idea about what, if any, restrictions there are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359610 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:09:47 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1359610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call and check with your midwife/doctor just to be sure, but I don't think there are any restrictions. I *think* the no sex/no baths is advised once your water breaks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359280 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:37:13 +0000 Ree723 1359280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been consistently losing chunks of mine since 28 weeks; I'm now 37+6 and it's still coming out. My midwife said as long as there's no blood and no contractions, there's no need to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359238 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 07:25:17 +0000 loveisstrange 1359238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who lost hers at 28 and it just grew back. She had no issues, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359231 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 06:46:41 +0000 Dandelion 1359231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: you're going to keep losing parts of it for weeks. there won't be anyway to know if it grows back. Being slimy down there is all part of the third trimester. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359223 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 05:23:38 +0000 anonysquire 1359223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I could be making this up but I swear I read somewhere that you cant take a bath or have sex til it grows back? Ugh and now I cant remember. Will call midwife on Monday, thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359222 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 05:05:52 +0000 Dandelion 1359222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost parts of mine for weeks until 39 weeks, when the whole thing obviously came out. Check with your midwife for any resrictions but I don't think there are any with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-1#post-1359217 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 04:20:08 +0000 anonysquire 1359217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure I have lost 2 parts of my mucus plug tonight. No bloody show though. I am only around 32 weeks and only 1 cm dilated so I know I have ages to go but I am wondering what are the things I am not allowed to do until it grows back?</p> <p>And my cervix is killing me now!! </p>
