Ugh anyone have experience with a yeast infection vs is this my fluid leaking?
Literally thought I was having a yeast infection TMI darker yellow/light yellow discharge sometimes even white like normal but then accompanied with just wetness? I'm going through 2 panty liners so not sure if I should head to the hospital to just be safe or ?
I had a yeast infection we started treating a few days before labor started. When my waterm broke it was clear fluid, my underwear were soaked and I literally was dripping all over the floor walking around after taking my underwear off. It wasn't constant, but every couple steps there was more.
@snaps816 I started to have pressure down low since 32 weeks... I started thinking omg this baby is going to come early... here I am at 39w1 lol... babies geesh...
The sweet sweet sweet release of an overdue BM & also baby has finally dropped so my right boob can finally rest. He was so far up there my boobs were lopsided the past two months. Lol
Does anyone else's baby stretch so far with his/her bum in the air that you confuse it for BH contractions? Or maybe they are BH contractions and I'm just confusing them for baby stretching. Belly still gets hard, and I can feel it all the way into my pelvis.
I think I lost my mucus plug/ had bloody show... about a pinky sized glob of brown mucus was in the toilet when I just peed.... maybe its just from having my cervix checked yesterday... who knows!
@caitlinj187 I'm hoping so! I did a search and some women said they lost chunks for weeks prior to labor... ugh! but my nst yesterday showed I was having regular contractions... so I'm hoping!
Now I lost bits of my mucus plug so it seems to be moving along ok. Also I think I'm having mild contractions but cant be sure since I've had no BH's so I can't compare.
Have any of you became allergic to something while pregnant? (Once/twice a month my lip will swell) I know its very late in pregnancy to ask, but over the time I thought it to be different laundry detergents and recently coconuts.....but today hit looks like someone has hit me. Only had Applejacks and a burger from checkers today. I haven't had checkers since last year before I became pregnant. I'm so confused right now
Finally starting to lose the lovely mp and my tummy has been making sure it empties itself after every single thing I eat. Seriously sore butt right now. Sorry tmi but hoping things are starting. I'd love to finish out this week at work though so my time off will stretch to near thanksgiving.

I don't know if it's an allergic reaction or nerve compression but sometimes after I eat my tongue goes tingly, then numb. It spreads to the roof of my mouth, down my throat and to my lips. It freaks me out! I hope you figure out what's causing the swelling. I'm sure it can be unnerving as my symptoms are too.
I've been that way since Tuesday @katm89. I told my husband I feel like my stomach is at a point of just constant contractions, but minor ones. So annoying!
same here. back pain & cramps throughout the days/nights since Tuesday night. I have my 39 week appt tomorrow, so i might ask if they can analyze if any of these contractions are real or not. Not sure if since the placenta is in front it would be more difficult to feel or not.
@caitlinj187 I had an nst on monday which showed my contractions are regular and timeable... I thought they were erratic because i don't feel all of them
@katm89 that's kinda where my head is at too, especially since the change from last week to this week was so drastic.
It's interesting to read the birth stories and how some say "oh I knew the moment they started", and then some are like "I had no idea". everyone is so different!
@caitlinj187 you should have seen my face when my midwife said I was having consistent contractions every 5 minutes... in my head I was like "Oh, I'm in labor!" and then she said I have to wait til they are painful or apparent enough for me to time them... so I've been doing this all week...

Do you mean you're throwing up or having diarrhea? Sorry if this is TMI (and I haven't read this whole thread so forgive me!) but I've been having some diarrhea today and I've read that can be a sign of impending labor. I sure hope so! No MP yet and no real contractions but some period-like cramping. Ugh, any day now, baby boy!
@tisunge602 Any time I eat anything, I have nasty bowel movements a few minutes later. This has been going on since Tuesday. No throwing up though. Lost my plug yesterday and was dilated to a full 3 cm Tuesday. I know dilation doesn't mean much and neither does losing your mp, but I'm hoping the combo of being 3 cms, all the poop, losing the plug and running this morning will get baby motivated. I'm not doing any of the other wives tales because I would like him to stay put through Sunday so we can finish our bath renovation. But, come Sunday evening, I'm planning on sexy time with DH.
@LWC1112 serious lol! I haven't had diarrhea but I've had very soft poop. I went from pooping every 3 days (if lucky) to going a few times a day. And contractions on and off since Monday when OB did my cervical check but nothing consistent. Come on baby!!
I've had diarreah for the past month and am most likely going to have to be induced in over a week. So I don't trust that symptom as impending labor anymore...
I have no symptoms. I'm only 37+5 but I've had nothing really. The only thing I complain about is that this baby moves nonstop. Especially after dinner up until I go to sleep. And it hurts. I'm also scared she's going to manage to flip herself around with all the moving. She's been head down for a couple months so I just stay worried she'll flip at the last minute.
@JournoGrl23 I would die if I had this for a month. Seriously don't think I would be able to sit.
I'm getting pretty sick of it! And it's disappointing because I got my hopes up a month ago that I may go into labor a week or two after that. But one month later and no labor!
Has anyone been measuring smaller at their last doctor appt? I measured 38 weeks at 38 week appt and then I measured 37 weeks at the 39 week appt. the doctor said it's probably bc the baby dropped even further into my pelvis but it still made me nervous. They are doing an ultrasound and NST at 39+6.
Re: Symptoms Thread
@caitlinj187 Yes! This happens to me almost daily.
Now I lost bits of my mucus plug so it seems to be moving along ok. Also I think I'm having mild contractions but cant be sure since I've had no BH's so I can't compare.

eta: I want symptoms!
