I was told by my doc that I lost my plug around 32 weeks (I'm at 39 now) because I had bright red discharge a couple times when I wiped. Today however, after going #2 and flushing I sat there a min more because its a pain to get up. When I did stand and looked down at the toilet, I saw what could only be described as a redish brown mucus blob about the size of a siver dollar, the rest of the toilet was empty. Had my membranes stripped yesterday morning so could this be a result of that? I'm due for induction in a week, but I would rather go without the assitance of drugs (except pain meds, I want those). Any thoughts?View Thread

OK I need some help here. I'm 36 weeks today and off and on today I have been having tightness below my belly button and into my groin that last about 30 sec or so. Could these be conrations of some sort? I've been reading and talking to everyone I can, but I have yet to get someone to give me a good discription of what a contraction feels like (they just say, "you'll know"). I know BH are basicly contractions that don't do anything, just work the muscles. How do they feel different than a labor contraction? How do "you know" when they are different?
I know its still a little early, but I lost my plug a month ago and have been dialated at a 2 with 50% for that long too. Also I have begun to drop this past week, putting more pressure into my lower abdomen and pelvis.
Any help that someone can give me would be appricated just so I have an idea of what I'm feeling. ThanksView Thread

First off, do you feel sick? If not,your probably fine. Secondly, you didn't say if it was a drinking fountain or an ornimental fountain. I'm thinking you mean ornimental because you talk abou it being recycled. In fact many of them are just tap water. If you were able to drink it, and didn't taste anything weird, it wasn't chlorinated beyond whar normal tap water is. Your system knows how to handle small amounts af bacteria, it gets it all the time. Your baby is far enough along to not have to worry about things that you might have eatten/drank unless you feel sick.View Thread

Still having the tightness/cramping in my lower abdomen every so offten. SOme days just 1 or 2, other days quite a few but in no real pattern. Had a Dr. appt this past Monday, and no real changes. I have definatly droped and there is lots of pressure betwen my pelvic bones. I still have a week and a half till my induction appt, so I guess I just have to wait and see what happens.View Thread

OK guys, I would sure like to know how everyone gets comfortable. At night, I do ok other than its a pain in the butt trying to get out of bed to pee and heartburn is horable. During the day however, I can't seem to find a comfortable possion. My lower back is always aching no matter the way I sit or stand. When I try to lay day, I have horable heartburn that requires tums mutiple times. I've been having a few contractions the last few days getting a little stronger today. What does everyone do to be able to relax?View Thread

I went and saw it yesterday and there wasn't any problems except being able to stay comfortable the whole time (I'm 38 weeks and have a hard time staying comfortable all the time). Its a great movie, so be sure to see it before your little one gets here.View Thread

What are you eatting before bed? Do you get up at night and have a midnight snack? You might find that if you have a high protein snack (I eat atkins bars or yurgart) that your body will not think you are starving and so will keep your sugars more at a level range.
Also, 90-106 isn't bad. MIne range between 75-85 each morning. It should be lower than 100. What are your levels the rest of the day? I have to test myself 6 times a day, before every "meal" and 2 hours after. I normally have a protien snake after each 2 hr and then eat a meal again about 2 hours after that.
BTW, I'm almost 38 weeks and have been doing this since 2week 24. I know its stressful, just try to relax.View Thread

My biggest concern would be having to get up to pee half way through or better yet, peeing my self when I jump at something. Otherwise, enjoy the movie. (I'm guessing you mean the new Batman)View Thread

I"ve been at a 2 for weeks now. My doc says its nothing to worry about, that over 1/3 of women dialte early with no other issues. Think of it this way, your half way through early labor.
