Yeah, it can grow back.
I lost bits of my mucus plug around 30 weeks.
And it grew back.
And now I'm losing it again.
It *****, and it's nasty... but it's just one step closer to delivery!

I got a check up with the doc the other week, and she shoved her fingers IN my cervix to see how much dialated I was.
And so ever since I've been having LOADS of irregular contractions and cramps and back and hip pains galore.
I was only 2cm dialated then... but with all the contractions n such since then, I wouldn't doubt I a cm or two more dialated.
Ugh.

I'm 39 weeks today, and I just can't WAIT to get this done and over with cuz I'm sick of being pregnant! omg! lol

I love biting it.. and your right the hospital ice is different than normal ice.. hmm im getting some watery discharge.. I have had it all day.. I wonder if I should go up to labor and get checked out after work.

lol I love hospital ice. I can eat a 10 pound bag of that stuff in one day. Im actually munching on whats left of todays bag. I have this weird ice craving when im preggers, I have to have it, and if I dont I literally feel all hot and sweaty and faint. It gets bad lol. But once the baby is out, the craving is POOF gone, and I dont ever chew a peice of ice again. I had my iron tested but it's normal, and I was checked for anemia, and I was fine, so it's just one of those crazy pregnant lady cravings lol

lol.. Well I guess its good to get "exercise" but we should still have special priveleges to be able to be "handicapped" for at least the last 3 months..

I'll trade you hospital ice for a pineapple.. lol Im actually wanting some of that ice right now.. but Its a long walk to the closest machine and I can't leave my phone (even though it never rings anyways.)

Labor is pretty much full here at the hospital so it's been a really quiet night..

YUCK! I hate hotdogs!! ugh just the smell of them repulses me.. cheese sounds good though.. I think Im gonna pawn my phones off for a few minutes and go find a bubbler before I die of thirst..

I was like geez thanks love you too.

NO ****!! i have been saying that for months now!! I told my mom that pretty soon I was gonna take blue paint and start making the blue wheelchairs into pregnant bellies and somehow making the handicapped person into a pregnant person.. lol

I saw in a picture today actually that they are starting to put up signs for pregnant and new mommies.. Took long enough.. women have been pregnant forever and they just now thought that maybe our fat ***** shouldn't have to walk 3 miles after we park our cars.. (actually I think walking is good for us though, maybe thats why.. lol)

I feel like eating pineapple now.. Thanks. lol

LMAO BTS "Why couldn't we just lay eggs, and have our men sit on it for 9 months or something, it would be soooo much easier" <isn't that the truth

I try to complain as little as possible but the closer we get the harder that is.. I think its just our way of being "excited" (excited to the point where we make ourselves wish we could just hit "fast forward")

And if we need to complain Dammit, we will complain! If people don't like it.. Don't read it.. lol and Betty, I agree I HATE not being able to put my socks on!! I went to pick up Travis for work today and had to take my socks off because he was cleaning the carpets... Well needless to say he got to watch in amusement while I moaned and groaned trying to put them back on.. Then with my eyes all teary I threw them on the floor where he proceeded to pick them up and put them on my feet for me.. lol I feel handicapped!

I hope no one gets me wrong.. I am really happy to be so blessed because I know there are probably lots of women who would kill to be where I am.. But its not easy..and it does start to take a big toll.

Let it all out girlie lol, It's nice having other people to vent with. I know so many people are dying to have babies and have this huge baby bump, and I honestly from the bottom of my heart wish them the best of luck, I used to be one of them women...until I got pregnant the 4th time lol. I also know how some people hate to hear others complain about being pregnant, but they need to understand that not everyone can tolerate pregnancy as well as others, and just sometimes us pregnant women don't like to hear about them TTC because we would kill to have out bodies back, and have a decent normal sex life with our sig. others lol. I mean no offense to anyone....but it takes 2 to tango lol.

I just got an email from someone practically yelling at me for complaining on being pregnant, but do they ever stop to think that us pregger woman can't stand to hear them complain either lol? Im being a hormonal b!tch right now...sorry if I p i s s anyone off, but I have always been an honest person, and won't stop because someone is mad at me lol.

Why couldn't we just lay eggs, and have our men sit on it for 9 months or something, it would be soooo much easier lol

The reason I would get induced would be because of worry about the baby.. which is really stupid for me to say I hope she induces me but its not like he is in danger, hes just small.. You probably know what I'm talking about I have mentioned it a few times.. I will find out next week at my appointment whether she will induce me or not.. Otherwise looks like I get to rough it for 3 more weeks or until he decides he wants to come out.. I think he has started to drop because my belly button gets lower everyday and his legs aren't right under my ribs anymore.. He has slowed down a bit in his movement and I have been having diarrhea and constant crampiness so hopefully it will be soon.

Girl I feel your pain....and hormonal issues lol. I have been having bouts of excessive sleeping and insomnia. I am royally miserable. My whole body has aches and pains from the inside out, and my hormones are just as cranky. Im extra sensitive to emotional c r a p now, I started crying lastnight because I couldn't bend all the way down to put lotion on my feet...Hubby started laughing and tears poured from my eyes, he felt so bad lol.

I wish my doctor would induce me but he is sort of against it. He will not induce unless there are medical concerns or if baby is about 2 weeks overdue. I asked and begged and pleaded...he was thinking of doing it last time I spoke with him, but because of all my *labor* symptoms disappearing he has decided against it...UHG. I told him there would be a medical concern when hubby rolls in the ER in a wheelchair because I can't take this anymore lol. And he just laughed and dismissed it 100%.

So here I am utterly exhausted, in pain, a hormonal raging b!tch. Im so happy this is my last pregnancy because I can't take this anymore lol. I love my babies and all this is 100% worth it, but IM DONE! lol

I have the pain from baby moving too. almost feels like my insides are bruised.. and I have been having the lower back cramps and lower abdominal cramps too.. I have an appointment next thursday and Im praying my doctor will induce me the week after next week when Im 37 weeks because EVERYTHING is sore.. My hips are spreading, Im getting the shooting vagina pains, My inner thighs are in pain, my back is in pain, my ribs are so squished they feel bruised.. I could probably sleep all day if I didn't have anything else to do.. I know Im being greedy and stupid right now but Im really sick of this.. The other night I started crying because Travis parked the car too close to another car and I couldn't squeeze through, my hormones are a mess and Im ready for him to come out of there!

bts1022 did your plug have the pink in it or just a big globe thing? and its ok i also have been having the clear mucous when i pee lol we are deffinetly in the same boat.

It could have been the rest of your mucous plug. I don't know if it can grow back or not, but I know it can come in a good amount of chunks. I had the same thing happen at 30 weeks and then again at 34 weeks. Now I just get a clear mucous when I pee sorry *tmi* and a lot of clear fluid like discharge. It sounds lke your contractions are picking up. I too have the constant crampyness in my lower belly, legs and lower back.

It will only get better once we have our babies lol. No relief until then!

yep, i did...i lost mine just before 36 weeks in pieces and it regenerated.  it popped out again in one big hunk at 40 weeks and i was induced at 41 weeks.   if you are experiencing watery discharge which could be amniotic fluid, i would definitely call your doctor.
