Yeah Ive had no tightenings of my bump as far as Im aware at any point in my pregnancy so far. I would presume the tightenings would be very obvious if they happened....I cant recall any

I just get the cramps/period pains low down like you describe...Ive had those on and off during my pregnancy and they seem to be to do with bump growing/stretching

Yep, same here. They stopped for a bit and then came back! It prob is a growing thing, like when you have those days where your bump doubles in size overnight lol

Definitely think I'm coming down with something...been feeling "off" all day, and was just lying in the bath and my vision suddenly went all funny...thought it was just a 'moment' but then it happened again. Called MAU (maternity assessment unit) just to be on the safe side and they said to get an early night, drink fluids and see how I feel tomorrow. Really nice girl on the phone actually x

I feel very weak right now downsides to having a winter bubba I suppose...it's virus season!!!!! X

Was it a bit hot? Maybe your blood pressure dropped? Also if you were lying down can squash blood vessels and make you dizzy. Hope you feel better soon xx

I've had funny vision happen in the shower, was really scary! I thought it was the heat maybe so tried to keep it cooler from then on. You feeling ok now hun? xxx

Question from me - it's a bit tmi, sorry!

White discharge - did anyone who's had a baby already experience it at about 36/37 weeks? I had masses of it today, was pretty gross! :/ Is that normal? I don't think it's thrush, it looked different and I was tested for that only two weeks ago anyway and apparently I didn't have it then...

Grim! Pretty sure it wasn't the plug from looking at that! It was proper white and most of them seem to be funny coloured?

I had white discharge but east my plug - my plug was like a mucus mass which had a pinky side to it...like a pink snot ball.
The discharge I had was white and milky but thrush is like cottage cheese (yum I must remember to buy some lol) x

Vom! No cottage cheese from now on haha!

Yeah, this is like white and thick. Not lumpy like thrush. But not snotty either? Precursor to losing plug? Let's hope so!

Some of them are holding it with their hands too... Why?!

 

[shenzi]

I take it, that googling mucus plug is a bad idea? Just the thought of cottage cheese discharge and pink snot is making me heave lol I thought pregnancy was meant to be beautiful lol? Lol
