@bww_0331 that is how I feel. We aren’t permanently stuck on any one platform if this one is awful. I just want to give the one that we can be the most inclusive with and not lose people who don’t use Facebook if we don’t have to.
@ournextadventure I got goosebumps - can't believe how real this is all starting to feel! Keep us updated and sending you good thoughts. Also, can you tell us more about the mucus plug lol???? Never knew such a thing existed until I got pregnant and fascinated/horrified by the very name itself...
I have downloaded Discord as well and am ready to move on and/or also be as helpful as possible in making that happen. I don't have experience myself but my partner swears by it... I'll ask him about photos tonight.
No baby yet but I have been having some contractions that feel stronger than braxton hicks. Slightly painful but nothing major. @fluteling my due date is the 1st. @bww_0331 I'm super nervous was hoping to hold out a little longer. Still hoping that we can get in at least another week or so. I really wanted to make it to 38 weeks. I was 36 on Wednesday. @shoarmie99 I never lost mine with my first so this was a weird little thing for me. It honestly wasn't as gross as what i thought it would be. It was just like a little clump of mucasy blood. And then I had very light bleeding for a few hours after. It literally just fell out when I went to bathroom at the doctors. I was relieved to have it happen there because I was able to have them confirm that is what it was.
@ournextadventure if it makes you feel more hopeful that you’ll hold out a bit longer, I walked around like that for two or three weeks with DD3 and ended up induced. So your LO might still wait a bit longer. At one point the contractions got strong enough my in-laws took the kids and then nothing happened.
@kfrob that does make me feel better. I don't want to be induced but I really want a couple more weeks for baby to develop and for me to get mentally ready.
@ournextadventure the upside was that I was already 4cm dilated and contracting even though it wasn’t going anywhere when they induced me so we could plan everything, take our time getting to the hospital, grab lunch, drop the kids stuff off at my in laws, etc but once they started the pitocin labor was super fast. It worked out so well!
