What changes might u experience right before u go into labor?

Question

I know not everyone loses their mucus plug right away i am 3cm 70% effaced and the nurse at the er said she can touch the babys head when she checks me but the baby isnt engaged? How can she feel the head and push it and it not be engaged yet? and usually how far are u dilated before u lose mucus plug or does it just depend on the person

im 39 wks due Sept 11 have lots of pressure

Answer 1

i'd say your body already is going through those changes. I'd stay active and keep moving. mopping on your hands and knees helps the baby position more so his head is pressing more against your cervix like they want. Plus is takes the pressure off your back.

Walking is good too.

As far as the mucus plug thats generally different with every women and every pregnancy, usually just before or at the time that the water breaks and true labor kicks in.

70% effaced! go you! thats all that much less work you're going to have to do later! you're almost there baby. ive seen your posts around for a couple days, i seriously iam rooting for you!

Answer 2

I would say that you may be very close to labor. The reason she can feel the baby's head is because there isn't a lot of room left in your body for the baby to go. It sounds like your baby is in position. As for the mucus plug all pregnancies are different. Some lose the plug really early say a month or so before labor and others don't lose it until labor. I never knew when I lost mine. I think it gradually fell out. I would probably guess that you have already lost it given that you are 3cm and 70%. Best wishes for a speedy labor and congrats on your new bundle of joy!!!

Answer 3

i think i am losing my mucus plus just a little bit at a time I am 37 weeks due the 25 th.I am not dilated any but effaced about 20 percent everyone is different and you may do things all mixed up,all pregnancies are different you can't predict what will happen next.

Answer 4

If the nurse can feel the baby and your cervix is dilated, then your plug is gone, kiddo.

You should probably be experiencing a feeling of restlessness (which is counterproductive to your body's urge to sleep right now!), along with mild backache, fatigue, irritability, cramping.

You should expect to be heading off to the hospital at any time now! Good luck!

Answer 5

have u done a ultra yet?
have they calculated ur DOE based on LMP
what is the foetus presentation
What is the position of the placenta?
Are u doing antenatal exercises?
The cervix has to be fully effaced, and the head has to engage. You can be on labor but until the vertex is engaged u cannot give. If u are worried why not opt for a CS. Ask ur OBG

Answer 6

Do you think of you're in exertions now? How sturdy are the cramps and do you think of they are cramps or gentle contractions? How many times are you cramping? I had my son 5 wks in the past and the evening in the previous i went into exertions, i spotted he moved very sharply to the left area of my stomache...early the subsequent morning i went into exertions. i spotted the comparable comparable sharp circulate to the left area of my stomache w my first too, yet i additionally lost my mucus plug previously that comparable morning w her, so as that became additionally a demonstration. I had decrease decrease back soreness w my 5 wk previous, yet that have been occurring for some weeks in the previous i went into exertions. I had the two my youngsters at 39 wks and it sounds to me such as you will possibly be in exertions now. Congrats on your new toddler!

Answer 7

Backache that comes and goes, loss of fluid - your waters leaking, cramps around the front at the bottom of the bump. She can feel the head cos its not that far up. Hope this helps and all the best with the birth - it is so not that bad
