Ok ok I know I am getting old. I have a question. Ok I am so confused. Ok I am almost positave that my plug feel out of me three weeks ago on the 30 because on the 30th I went to the bathroom around 5 and when I looked at my underwear they were more wet then normal then when I went to wipe there was this big glob of clear snotty stuff. Ok well since then I have been having this green snotty stuff come out of me. So which is the plug? Or does anyone know?

Ok here is the second thing. I have been really sick for the past three days I am naueated my back hurts worse than normal. There is more cramping then normal. So I was wondering could I take a laxitave to go to the bathroom I am not sure if it is gas or what it feels like gas but what ever it is it really hurts. I know everyone goes through this but it is awfully painful what did you all do? Nothing works as far as bath, tylonal. Were I have been nauseated I have had to take phyinagren.

Please help me.

Not sure about the mucous plug as mune fell out the night my water broke . Everything just kind of cam eout at once. Lol

don't take a laxative, they are dangerous to the baby. If you really feel the need to take something, try some castor oil. (it's also supposed to help induce labor) it didn't for me but it did make me poop-lol it's really cheap (like 2-3$)

My doc and pharmacist both told me to try castor oil. So I don;t think it's that bad. Near the beginign of the preg, yes, but when you are around your due date, it's fine. It's f-ing nasty though!!!!! Lol

i feel like sh*t today too and my bubs is sick too so maybe there is just something going around north america-lol

it could just be that you're nearing labour time and your body is going wacko. Mine did.

i delivered 4 days before my due date. Trey was due june 25 and he came to me my c-sec june 21 at 10:30pm. My lil first day of summer baby. I am not pregnant anymore (thank god cause me too I felt like caca near the end and it was sooooooooo bloody hot an dhumid I couldn't even get a decent nights rest) I had restless leg syndrome and my feet and ankles were so swollen I had to wear size 9 shoes when I normally wear 6 1/2 or 7. I was even put on medical leave when I was about 7 1/2months.

Trey will be 3 months on wednesday.

Oh I am sorry. Well I dont know what is going on with me right now. Crampy sore vagina. All that is normal I guess. So I just have to suck it up. Man that is hard to do you know?

Sore vagina is prolly due to baby starting to descend in prep for labour. I hope everything goes well for you. About the castor oil, I would talk to your doc about that before you take it, and that is coming from a pharmacist....I would never recommend it without docs permission. God bless and good luck

Sounds like baby's on the way. Take heart!!!!!

At this point, I doubt there's much you could do to harm the baby- i'm sure castor oil would be fine. Do whatever you think will help- at least it might make you feel like you are doing something !!

I'm sure you are sick of hearing it, but it'll be anytime now, really.
Start a good book, that'll do it- baby won't let you finish it, trust me !!!!

Pink Blood

Yeah I guess your right. Question I went to the bathroom last night and there was just a couple of dots of pink blood does that mean anything. It wasnt anything serious I promise.
