3rd trimester
35 weeks pregnant and lost the mucus plug
chertje85
Hi ladies,
I'm exactly 35 weeks pregnant today..
Yesterday I noticed a bit more fluid loss than usual..
Didn't pay much attention to it.
Tonight I realized my underwear was really wet..
It wasn't urine.
I changed it and told my boyfriend..
He wanted me to call the midwife just to be safe.
I went to the toilet again an hour later and noticed I was wiping out a string of mucus.
Called the midwife and she suspected amniotic fluid and indeed a piece of my mucus plug.. I don't need to worry. Just keep an eye on it.
Now I've read different stories about the mucus plug and labor and it can still take a few weeks..
But suddenly I feel short of breath (have to take a good deep breath now and then) and cramps in my back (between and under my shoulder blades) and very light stabs in my vagina.
Does anyone recognize this??

I recognize this; your blood pressure might have risen. I had these symptoms too, actually, due to high blood pressure. It needs to be monitored, and your urine should be tested for protein. If your blood pressure keeps going up a little each day, it could lead to pre-eclampsia. It doesn't have to be that way, though—it wasn't for me either—but getting your blood pressure and urine checked is preventive. If it's still like this tomorrow, you'd better call your midwife.
