mucus plug


This Thanksgiving morning I noticed a glob of mucous plug on my tp. It was brown.
In my first pregnancy, I didn't make it to 38 weeks since doctor had me induced at 37 weeks and 6 days. I never really went through the normal labor process so things here on are all new to me.

I had my weekly checkup yesterday with a different doctor because my regular is out on vacation for 3 weeks! So he won't be here on my due date but it's ok. I'm told that I've dilated a little over 1 cm, not quite 2. Doctor didn't mention any need to induce so I don't expect that it will happen this time around. But I wish I could get induced, that made the birthing process easier on me.

I'm counting on not giving birth until after next week because I still have work for 2 days. This long holiday I would like to take it easy and spend a little more quality time with my 20-month old because pretty soon he'll see his new baby sister that I'll be spending a lot of time with.

Wish me luck that I can atleast make it through today!

New house... labor is anytime now?



We just moved to our new house last week, and as of today I'm 3 weeks before my duedate. So much unpacking to do, and no physical power to do it. Our toddler has been staying with grandparents during this transition and it's making me sad we can't spend these last few days together before we have a new addition.

I see my OB now every week. Today's appointment: no dilation, he felt baby's head position, and everything else is good otherwise. Bad news? He'll be on vacation for the next 3 weeks! I don't think he'll be around to deliver my babygirl.

I have a lot to do so I'll keep this short for now.
