I lost my mucus plug this morning.
How’s that for an opening?
I will spare you the slimey details, but I was awfully excited to see yet another sign that things are happening and labour is nearing. The membrane stripping yesterday really wasn’t bad at all and worth the discomfort if it did anything to bring me closer to meeting our girl. I have had a few mild contractions today but nothing regular or intense, so who knows when things will start to really happen? My doctor has scheduled me for an induction on July 21 and that has become my new light at the end of the tunnel. To know that this time next week I will most likely be holding our baby, or at the very least pushing her out of my burning nether-regions, is very exciting.
I really hope I don’t have to be induced and I know that some out there believe that induction is the devil itself, but I am just ready to do anything to have this baby. I have the feeling that she’ll be here before the 21st but I guess there are no guarantees.
I am tired and ready to burst. May you all have wonderful weekends and I truly hope there will soon be some horrendous photos of me, all tired and sweaty and torn, holding our pruney little wonder child, on this blog.

And, you will look beautiful!!! I’m so excited for your next steps towards meeting the little one. I am one in favour of induction when needed (who knows how long I would have been pregnant for, without it?)
I’ve never been more excited about a mucus plug.
I HOPE it happens soon. TONITE!
I wish I had some helpful advice to bring that baby out, but I was to induced. I know it’s hard to give up the ideal birth scenario, but be ready to roll with the punches and it will be great!! It’s going to be hard to wait till August to see you and your babe on here, so I’m hoping for before the 21st too! Good luck babe!!
The mucus plug is a really good sign!!! Before you know it, your precious baby will be here. My prayers are with all three of you- I’m just so excited for you guys!!
You are in the home stretch. The last month is always the longest, especially if you are overdue. Induction is not always bad. It was the light at the end of my tunnel too. The contractions seemed more severe then they ought to be, but I didn’t know any better being that he was my first. Try and keep your mind off of it by sleeping- get lots of sleep. Loving you and praying for a safe delivery of Baby Brown.
