Certainly.

Ah thanks very much! I am relatively new to MSE but am thoroughly enjoying it here!

Hello Pookle

Right, DS has bacterial conjunctivitis - and nursery won't have him for the first 2 days of treatment at least. I only went back last week, part time, so I am not going to be popular when I ring tomorrow morning...

Honestly I feel like crying; the 3 days last week I went to work and DS went to nursery were dreadful. I had an IBS attack that lasted 2 days due to the stress.
DH is trying to sort out annual leave to have thurs off, and we'd already booked Friday off.

Why this week? If it had been a month down the line I wouldn't worry as much.

Welcome Pookle :wave:

Js - Exactly the same thing happened to me when I went back to work after Ryan. I had been there 1 day when he came down with.....can't remember.....mumps I think.

It's a horrible feeling, but try to remember that this is something that is completely out of your control - you haven't done it on purpose, quite the opposite in fact. Please don't make yourself ill fretting about it. In a few weeks, everything will have settled down, and it will all have been forgotten about. Go easy on yourself hun. xxx

Hi
I have just popped over from the pregnancy thread as I thought you lot on here might be able to shed some more light??
Sorry if this is TMI, I'm 36 weeks (although babe measuring by scan as full term) twice this morning I have had really thick discharge (a massive lump) it's not smelly and it's yellowish in colour? Could this be the mucus plug or is the plug usually brownish/pink in colour??

Hope someone can help
Thanx
and I hope to be over on this board soon

Hi scruffy, yep, I'd say it was the plug coming away. Certainly sounds like my experience of it and mine wasn't blood stained at all either. Sounds like you'll be over here pretty soon Good luck with it all.

It sounds the like the mucus plug, but if you are worried, you could ring the labour ward. They'll probably give you advice over the phone given how close you are to giving birth.

I've had 3 pregnancies and never seen any of my "plugs" though!

Charlotte has learned to move! I normally put her on her baby gym and potter on doing housework and stuff round her. Now she's learned to spin round and roll, so if I don't watch her, she's half way across the room before I know it :rotfl:

Dormouse

Good luck Scruffy, certainly sounds like the plug to me too. See you back here soon although the plug could come out a couple of weeks before the baby, I think.

I've got something to share: Alex had his first baby rice today! (I weaned DS1 at 17 weeks, as per the guidelines back then, so am doing the same this time round. :cool: ) He absolutely loved it, wolfed it down and wanted more! :eek: :rotfl:

I can't believe it, he's growing up too fast.

Glad he liked it, it's amazing how different babies are. Alice still doesn't actually consume the stuff we give her (just sucks, chews and plays with it) and often has random feeds (such as the one she's meant to be having now!) where she hardly has anything. You wouldn't think it to look at her though - she's 19 lbs.
