Ladies as you know I had the unsuccessful sweep yesterday 🙄 since then I've had what I can only describe as a bitty white discharge or could this be my plug? It doesn't resemble how I'd imagine my plug to look considering I've seen a few posted on here just puzzled to what it could be? No pain or anything so don't think it's an infection... Any ideas ?
i found the sweep very uncomfortable and pain full expecially when i had it at 38 weeks when she was able to do it . i had one at 37 weeks but my cervic was stil closed and high up .
Might u have thrush are u uncomfy or sore? That could cause that. Also u were messed about with down there. Can cause all sorts of thinga
@suzie80, I'm booked in for Friday for another try - midwife said hopefully I'll have gone naturally before then otherwise I'm being induced on the 12th 🙈 I'm just puzzled to why I've gone weird and bitty not had discharge like it before ?! X
Oh so she didn't do it then. I see. My cervix tends to be posterior too until late into labour. I always warn people that getting to it will be a chore. And yes it is painful trying to grab it or walk it around the babies head to do a sweep. Deep breathing and trying to relax can help. All you can do is hope labour starts on its own then I guess or another midwife is more able.
She couldn't get to my cervix it was too high and too painful trying to ! 😞 she had a good try but I had to say enough was enough ! @suzie80 @vickir29 @karenb1601 @sara87 - she did say baby is engaged and ready, I just need to walk, have sex and use my birthing ball! X
i had a sweep at 38 weeks n it took 2 days to start any thing i lost my plug on the second day which was jelly time then same day my waters broke that night i did get white creamy discharge after the sweep
@xkathrynlouise, the sweep may still work. it can take up to 48 hrs for anything to happen. thats why they do them 3 days apart. doesnt sound like yr plug though. it normally resembles snot streaked with blood x
I bet it was your plug as some come away completely or little bits at a time you can ring your midwife and describe it and they will tell you that's what I did when mine came away x
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@suzie80, nope all fine down there. I'll have a bath and a long soak see if that helps! and Thank you ladies for your advice @sara87 xx
