Anxious about labour!

Hi all,

My baby has been 2/5 engaged for nearly 3 weeks now and I keep thinking therefore im due to go into labour anytime soon...does anyone know how long these things take? Also I always get quite a lot of discharge and sometimes it worries me I wont be able to identify a 'show' from it. As you can tell I'm anxious about birth and going into labour and if anyone else is feeling the same anxieties please message me back!

I'm due in just under 2 weeks!

  • Hi ya Hun, my baby moved down quite early but still hasnt properly engaged, think midwife said he is 4/5 and im 39+5 so i wouldnt worry about it coming early. al the way through pregnancy i had a feeling mine would come early as bump so big but now think im going over and have been booked in for a sweep nect week if nothing happens before then! Think from what ive been told it will be obvious when u have a show -sorry if TMI but apparently it looks like pork pie jelly with blood!!
    i am just as nervous/worried/scared!!

  • Hi Clare

    I also have a lot discharge normally and was worried that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference to a show. I have started to have my show today and as Nic says it looks like jelly rather than usual discharge.

    Take care
