Yeah you can definitely get the flu jab
when you are pregnant, I had it when I was
about 18 weeks or so, on doc's advice.

But omg.. Today I was in the shower with
shawn, and I had the worst gas ever! Omg
so embarrising, and I sat in the shower
because standing was too tiring and and we
turned the water off and shawn got out and
was changing and I got out and looked in
the shower and I saw some of my mucus plug
omg I didnt know what it was at first I
was like like "what is that" and shawns
like "did u actually crap a lil bit?" and
I was like "ew no.. Thats where my crotch
was not my ass... Omg thats probably my
mucus plug!" and then shawn was changed
and left the room and so I sat on the
toliet and whiped and there was some on
the tissue too.. So ya, I unno if this
was because I got my membranes swept
yesterday or what.. Should I be prepared
to go to the hospital tonight or no?

always be prepared to go to the hospital
girl...Because you never know when labor
is gonna come.
I got my membranes stripped 2 times and
lost my mucus plug. Mine came out a
little at a time and eventually started
getting in big clumps and then it stopped.
I went into labor within a week of that
happening, i'm not sure if it was because
I got them stripped or if it was just
natural. I was a week and a half late
before I went into labor. My due date was
february 22nd, induced date was march 8th,
and I had him on march 3rd. I woke up at
4 in the morning with contractions!
Getting my membranes stripped caused a lot
of cramping for me, its a lot different
than real contractions though, so when you
have a real contraction you'll know. Mine
werent very strong, but they were 2
minutes apart so we went to the hospital
pretty fast.
And...I was only dilated a finger tip when
he stripped my membranes, and the mucus
plug is whats inside your cervix, so when
he sticks his finger up there to do that,
then its gonna fall out.

have been the day I had my membranes
swept not the day after

yep it's pretty much normal, mine came out
for a freakin' week. I know it sucks, ive
been there but just remember that he wont
stay in there forever and they wont let
you go past 42 weeks.

Trust me girl I know!!!
It got so bad for me I would cry
everynight thinking he was never gonna
come out, but then soon after it just
happend and it was so unexpected, they
gave me my induced date and I was so
excited because I was like yeah! At least
I have a serious actual date now that he
.H.A.S. To come out.
But for real, when he comes out your gonna
miss being pregnant, he'll probably drive
you so nuts sometimes you'll wish he was
back in your belly!
Sometimes bray drives me nuts and I tell
myself I would .D.I.E. For him to go back
in my belly for a couple days so I can get
some sleep!

Yeah... I feel like he's never going to
come.. Every morning I wake up and im
like "damn, stilll no baby" and at night
going to bed I look in his crib and im
like "damn..." hopefully on tuesday they
will set a date to get induced so I know
hes actually coming.. I feel like its
never going to end.. But atleast I know
its normal to feel this way:)
