am i just overly anxious or is it really getting close?

Question

i am 35 weeks pregnant. so for the past couple of weeks i have been have alot of pain in my pelvic area like someone is forcing me into a split but only when i first stand up or have been walkin for several minutes. its not actually my cervix or ne thing its more like my muscles and bones. plus i think i have been losing my mucus plug slowly its like little thick yellow blobs of snot..... i asked my dr and he said it was normal but im worried bc he tends to be very scatter brained and doesnt always hear ur question or care at that matter.. ne ways am i just getting anxious or am i really getting close to delivering

Answer 1

Its normal! Sounds like you are losing your mucous plug, that is the best way to describe it is SNOT! The baby is getting further engaged, he is going through your hip bones and it IS pushing them further and further apart. I always felt like I needed to strech my hips out (how ever you do that lol!) But I would put one leg up on my husband when he was laying on his side, this is the ONLY thing that made it feel a little bit better. I would say you still probably have a good couple of weeks to go at the least until you deliver, just because you are only 35 weeks along right now, but you could very well go into labor at 35 weeks. Losing your mucous plug really is not an indication that labor is immenent. When and if you start having bloody show, that is just blood streaked (pink, brown, orange, red) mucous, does it usually mean that labor will begin in the next 24-48 hrs. Good luck!

I am currently 34 weeks pg. and have had the hip pain for over a month now. I get it when I get up from the sitting or laying down position and especially when I have been walking for a bit. When pregnant you produce hormones which loosen your joints to get you ready for birth so you are more and more flexible..due to that you are growing and getting bigger and the weight doesn't help on the loose joints therefore causing pains. Doc told me it was normal and will go away after I have the baby..really sucks but gotta do it. As for losing your plug women can lose it all at once or bits at a time and can lose it from hours before labor up to weeks. My mom says the plug can look like slimy snot...lol.

It is normal to have a large increase in the volume of discharge at this stage in your pregnancy. The mucus plug is typically blood-tinged, so I don't think you are losing it, but rather just having a lot of discharge. Even if you lose your plug, many women walk around without theirs for weeks before labor strikes. The pains you are describing are also normal, as the hormones in your body are telling your bones to spread, so any change in position will cause a shift in weight on those bones, which can cause pain. I am currently experiencing both, in my 38th week, and I had both with my son, who wasn't delivered until 41+ weeks! It's totally normal, but you are getting close, only five or so weeks to go, it will just fly by! Oh, and if you are that worried about your OB, get a new one for any subsequent pregnancies, you want to know your concerns are being taken seriously. My OB listens, and looks me right in the eye while he offers detailed explanations to me. Good luck!

Pregnancy is an other state of being. The pregnancy package one gets is as different as the baby. In my first pregnancy having a female dr near my age who had 3 children was the best thing I had done. I knew I could take her word on what did not matter and what did. When in doubt ask your dr and make sure you both hear each other...
In my case pain was the way my body had prepaired for delivery: opening up the joints for a safer passege for my children. Thinking that it each contraction brought my baby closer to me gave me the strenght to go through natural delivery without pain killers. Wearing a pregnancy support around my belly was also helpful in the first one.

Answer 5

Your baby is probably in position and your bones are softening to get ready for birth. With my last baby I was miserable the last month when the pelvic bones got ready for birth. I had a hard time sleeping because it would hurt to lay on my side and it was hard to breathe on my back. The snot like stuff is your mucus plug.

Answer 6

So what you are pronouncing is that you have been dumped commonly earlier than? If anybody dumps you for being clingy, they we are mostly going to get a divorce with you ultimately besides. Always permit him have a few bro time despite the fact that.
