Lost my mucus plug yesterday!

Jul 28, 2011 09:26

I had my doctors appointment on Tuesday and she checked and while I was only 1 cm dilated she tried to sweep my membranes. After that I had some cramping and a bit of blood, but nothing much else.. I had read somewhere that being active afterwards helps more than anything. So I decided to shopping and walk home afterwards. So I walked for upwards of 3 hours (taking it slow and doing things at my pace).

I was in major pain the whole day yesterday with major back pain, random contractions and all and at one point in the late afternoon I went to poop and instead of poop had a huge chunk of mucus hanging from my vagina afterwards. (Huge chunk bigger than a half dollar!) and continued getting contractions into my sides and hips afterwards... They were painful, but nothing to write home about. I decided to dirnk a liter of water and take a nice warm shower before bed to see if I could at least sleep the night through. And I kept loosing mucus, at one point I found it on my leg right before bed. Not something pleasant according to my husband!

I slept the night through with waking up a few times to different pains, but today I'm feeling pretty good and my plan is to go out and walk myself silly again today (an hour on the beach, or less !) and see if that'll get labor going again... My plan is to stay as active as possible in the coming days to see if we can get this little boy to evict so they don't have to induce me in a couple of weeks!!
