Due in two weeks. So ready to stop being pregnant and start being a mom
I feel you. Just lost partial of my mucous plug last night. And contractions are 6-10 minutes apart
You're already a mom! You've been feeding and caring for this baby with your body for a long time already.
@@cngr1986 Lucky you. It's been over a week for me since losing mine...I can't no more😭😭😭
I’m due in 7 weeks
Amen girl me to
My husband overheard this video and when you said "losing your Mucus plug means that birth is imminent". My husband said "well so does being pregnant. You gotta give birth at some point." 😂😂😂 so funny
😂😂😂
Smart hubby you have. 😂
Your husband is funny! Made me laugh 😌
Lmao
Lol 😂😂😂😂 ☺
I’m 37 weeks +4 days and have had inconsistent contractions for the past week! Things are slowly starting to progress and get more intense. Went into the hospital yesterday for water break scare (water didn’t break) and found out I’m 60% effaced and not dilated at all! Hoping baby comes soon because contractions all day can be annoying!! Lol
We got this mommas!!! #2023babies
Hey! I'm 37+5 today. I lost my mucus plug yesterday morning after some bad cramping. Been having inconsistent contractions and very intense Braxton Hicks ever since. I don't know how dilated/effaced I am but I'm ready to get the ball rolling! I'm gonna try for an unmedicated VBAC this time. All prayers and well wishes are welcomed! Sending mine your way. 🤗
Just saw this and wanted to see how it’s going and if the baby’s here yet! I’m 34 weeks as of tomorrow and I’m so ready to give birth already 😂
How did it go??
@@shelbyedward1617how did it go?
@@crystalglopez91623 I ended up giving birth at 41+5 🥴 I went to the hospital bc I was ready to get the baby out no matter what! 😂 Turns out I was already 5cm dilated and my water had broken but I didn't feel it happen. I got to 7 cm without meds until I could feel my C-section scar with each contraction, which was often and long by that point. So I got an epidural right around 8cm and I'm so glad I did. The C-section scar pain was the absolute worst, I wasn't mentally prepared for that. I ended up having baby girl a few hours later. They took her to the NICU for observation bc we didn't know how long she went without amniotic fluid, but thank God she was just fine and we were able to bring her home after a few days. She turns 1 next week 😍 thanks for asking!
Lost my mucus plug on a Friday and Sunday. My waters broke on the Tuesday morning he was born on the Wednesday.
Due date is December 1 and I had my bloody show today!
Congrats to all 2019 and 2020 mamas 🥰🥰
same
I'm due on the 26 of December 😊
Due December 30
ROXANNE LOVELY 25 DECEMBER HERE
I’m due December 24 and I’m super nervous about giving birth ( first time mom ) it’s good to see a lot of other moms giving birth around the same time ! We will be strong 💪🏽 together ❤️
42 weeks tomorrow and finally had bloody show today. Praying this is it!
"Egg whites and jam" well I picked a terrible time to eat breakfast while watching this video 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This made me laugh and gave me a contraction lmao 🤣
Lol same 🤣🤣🤣
You are incredible!! Thank you for making these videos... I'm a first time mom and have found these to make me more comforted and less scared.
39 weeks and 5 days (second child after 7 years) lost some mucus plug today but no contractions.. waiting for his time to come into our world! ☺️
I just want to say thank you for gently and kindly explaining things like the mucus plug. I always feel silly, like shouldn’t I know these things already; like, my friend recently gave birth and was telling her birth story to me and a couple other ladies and EVERYONE but me understand all the terms, whereas I was secretly making a note in my head to google stuff later. But when you started just lovingly explaining what it was and didn’t assume everyone knows - dang that hit me hard and I was SO relieved. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and explaining everything so kindly.
Hi Samantha, Bridget is great isn't she? By the way most women won't know about things like the mucus plug. When I was pregnant, I barely knew anything. The good thing is, you are watching these videos and educating yourself. What month are you expecting your baby? xxx
I'm 38 weeks today and watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge they're super helpful for first time mom-to-be like me.
I appreciate your video so much. Im 37 weeks with my second baby and your informative video just refreshed my memory and helped me mentally prepare myself for what I’m in for. Thank you ❤️🙏🏾
Love how she says hey mamas ☺
Chelsea Janay It’s starting to get boring along with mama bear.
@@mick5330 don't think anyone asked you Karen 🙄🙄🙄
I’m sorry. Are you offended?
@@mick5330 no you're annoying
Okay mama.
39 weeks pregnant with first baby. Had cramping for 4 days and this morning I lost my mucous plug and cramps have gotten worse, the cramps also increase in pain when I lay down. The cramps are about a minute long and happening every 5 to 30 mins. Please pray for me and wish me luck.
Same here! Was unexpected and scary
Me, too but contractions last about 3 minutes while I'm in bed, how long after that did you give birth?
I'm not pregnant or anywhere near that phase of my life.... But labor used to intimidate me but the more I learn about it in advance the less worried I feel about it whenever I do have that stage of life xo ty for sharing 🤗🤗
33weeks,due date 30th November😍Can't wait to hold my Angel.
39 weeks and 3 days today with baby number 3! Very excited to welcome our lady May.
I love your enthusiasm, positivity and coolness. It makes me excited for birth! 😊
Your voice is so calming I feel like if someone else was telling me about this stuff I'd freak out but you just make it all seem like it's gonna be okay
Brilliant, clear, easy to understand thank you for sharing this!
My first was born 5.5 years ago so I feel like I need a refresher! Plus I was induced a little early for that one, so I’m not really sure how natural early labor feels. So happy to have these videos to learn from💜only 6 weeks left🙌🏻
I know your comment is older but same! My oldest will be 6 in a couple months, I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been dilated at a 3 for almost a week now.. I’m so anxious. My oldest cane very different at a month early, water broke before contractions or dilation and I had to have pitocin. This time waiting naturally I am like WHAT IS MY BODY DOING?!
I’m 33 weeks and can’t wait to deliver this baby boy because pregnancy is just not for me... I go through a lot in each one of them (3)
My mucus plugs (3 births) were always very thick in consistency and opaque, usually with blood streaks. They never looked like egg whites for me, so I thought I’d throw that out there for other expecting moms to know! Thank you for your informative and encouraging videos!
Chelsea Ruck yes like gorilla snot gel
Yes everyone is different! I’ve been having discharge similar to egg whites for over 2 months and this is my second pregnancy. Only 37 weeks
Mine were always thicker and opaque as well, but usually streaked with blood which is what got my attention. Discharge is so common through most of pregnancy that if it weren’t for the amount and bloody streaks I wouldn’t have thought anything of it 😂
Just lost mine and that’s what it was!
Just lost mine after a stretch and sweep gradually. Thicker than egg whites and brownish tinge 🤣 lost about a total of 2 tblspoons maybe abit less
Im 28 weeks so i still have a ways to go. This is my second pregnancy. But struggled to get pregnant with the second. So i feel like im a kinda a new mom all over again. 6 years later and i finally got pregnant so i feel like i forgot everything i learned the first time around. So this is such a good refresher. Information is key so thank you!
That's so understandable, and I'm so glad these videos are helping you get the information you need!
Thankyou so much. You simplify and explain so well! Its my baby#4 still finding your videos very helpful.
39 weeks on Monday & I’m binge watching all of your videos!
I’m Noely omg noely! Lol also binging here too 😂
Your videos have honestly helped me soooo much through my pregnancy due to covid I feel I haven't gotten the care I would have as classes etc were all canceled! So thank you so much for making these videos!! (I'm due on the 15th of September!!)
I was induced with my first at 39 weeks and I had no signs of labor. I am trying my best to let labor happen naturally with my second, currently 38.5 weeks. I am nervous I’m going to be that mom going to the hospital too early and be turned away. This video reassured me on the signs I should be on the look out for.
I’m 35+6 and just lost some mucus plug today. Came right after a little light cramping, with a light pink tinge. My cervix is open and I’m dilated 1cm. First baby and I have a strong feeling he’ll be here a couple of weeks before his due date. The anxiety and nervousness is real…😅 What’s also real is lightning crotch. 🙈
Omg... i told my doctor and a few nurses about lightening crotch and they looked at me crazy
What does lightning crotch feel like? I think I’m experiencing it but not sure it it’s something else.
You are so soothing in your videos!!! I enjoy them!!! Due next week!
when I was 37 weeks and 5 days I thought I am going to be in labor soon since I lost my mucus plug. But I'm wrong LOL now, at 39 weeks with 1-2cm dilation, I usually feel inconsistent contractions but not a real labor 😅 thanks for this video momma
The fact I watch this video 3 years ago before my son and now rewatching the same one again for my 2 baby is crazy and sooo helpful for me!
I‘m not even a mom, I‘m just here for fun and I‘m loving your channel! ❤️❤️
I’m due in two weeks and nervous but excited, I really appreciate these videos!!
Due in 3 days😬 I can’t wait to meet this little guy💙
My doctor has said I am in early labor and have been sitting there for the past 4 days! So frustrating, but using this advice to help distract myself.
Im in the same boat!!
You're videos are really helping me, I'm 23wks pregnant with my 2nd baby and I've not experienced labor in 18 years. ☺I subscribed!
Congratulations! That's so exciting! How's your pregnancy going??
@@BridgetTeyler it's up and down, I've had horrible morning sickness that NEVER seems to go away
I’m getting induced next week can’t wait to meet my baby girl
This is my second baby (: it’s been 9 years ahh lol
hellloo....m extremly thankful to u for excellent advices. being the first time mom, i found them very helpful
Hi, I'm a FTM, and I'm 40 weeks +1 day. I lost my mucous plug this morning! Haven't had contractions yet, so trying to stay calm and not freak out 🤩 Thank you so much for these videos, Bridget!
I’m due august 15th and lost my mucus plug today and I’m tryna stay calm too

Started watching ur videos recently ..and now watching only your videos regarding labour😍..Love your voice and your way of talk ..keep going dea ..I'm 35 weeks now and waiting for my lil ones arrival ❤️
I’m 38 weeks and constantly on edge. 2cm dilated and so many Braxton hicks. It’s my first pregnancy so I’m super nervous and excited!
36 weeks, 37 in 2 days! Already lost my mucus plug, still losing bits and pieces. 2-3 dilated and 50% effaced... my first born came at 37 weeks I pray she comes next week ! I’m miserable and in pain!
Have you given birth yet? I'm in the same boat.
I did actually on Thursday!
@@audreyf.1170 Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!! I feel my baby will be arriving just around the corner =)
I’m due in a week! I absolutely looove pregnancy, makes me feel like she enjoys it to so she’ll want to stick around longer lol, I want to meet her so bad and I think I’m ready to now as much as I’d love her to stay 💕
Ha, same feeling here.
Cannot relate LOL this has been so painful for me 😂
Due in 4 days, with my first baby ! Needed this video. ❤️
Hey how's your experience. Have you had your baby
Loving your videos! Second time mama but first hopeful vbac! So just refreshing my memory. Baby due in a few weeks!
❤thank you ...after 2 cesareans for random reasons I'm preparing strongly for VBAC-2...so listening, learning all beneficial like first time mom...sure, with putting special attention to my mistakes in previous pregnancies and birthing processes...
Hello from malaysia. I really like all your video. Ur explanation so clear, i can understand it clearly. My due date will be 2weeks more 😬 pray for me 😁❤️
You're so close, Mama! So excited for you!
I'm only 24 weeks pregnant with my third babe and I'm watching this video because I'm so excited to go through labor and delivery once again!
Thank you for all the information and positivity you give in your videos, I’m 38 weeks and my midwife has been a pen pusher with a cold and condescending attitude. Thank you again ❤️
That's always tough to have a care provider you don't click with... Are you able to switch to someone you get along better with?
Bridget Teyler , sadly not she is the only one at my doctors.
Thank you. Thank you. You have correctly described what I'm going through. 39 weeks & 6 days. C-section scheduled in 2 days if I don't progress. I really want to have a VBAC. Membrane sweep done 3 days ago & it's been a rollercoaster since. Contractions driving me crazy but they don't progress. Lost mucus plug yesterday & got very frequent contractions afterwards,but once again subsided. Losing my mind....but gotta keep patient. Trying to walk as much as I can.
Thank you you have helped me learn much about preparing for labour since iam trying a first VBAC. God Bless you
Due today and we’ve been keeping gender a surprise!! Can’t wait any longer 🥰
hey how did it go?? Boy or girl??
Good insight. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for being so clear about the mucus plug, it is spot on and makes it really clear to me what I just saw in the bowl. Thank you 😊 💓
I am due with my second son in 4 weeks! 😍
Due in 4 days 🙏🏽🙏🏽 anxious for his arrival but trying to stay patient ❤️
I am 30 weeks pregnant but Im already getting signs. I thought I was losing my mucus plug a couple months ago but I believe it was just clear sticky discharge. But today I started having pieces of yellow thick stuff coming out but not a whole lot. She's already weighing in about 5 ibs. And I feel like I will be having her soon. This is my 3rd baby, 5th pregnancy. And my instincts just say it's soon.
Thank yooooou so MUCH! Muchas gracias, for sharing all this information. Not everyone has the money to get a birthcourse, and this is very helpful to provide calming for birth. I had watched more than 10 videos, and 4 days to go for our home birth, first time mama! Wujuuu so exciting!!!!
I’ll be 40 weeks tomorrow and lost my mucus plug today! Hoping to get this show on the road soon :) thanks for another informative video!!
Same situation as me! Did you wind up going into labour soon after? I had a lot of really uncomfortable pains and pressure in my pelvis last night, then this morning I had bloody mucus! A little bit of achiness in my lower back once in awhile, but not a whole lot is going on yet. Due tomorrow lol
@@madbahamut I'm 40+5 today and just lost my plug. Did you go into labour soon after the mucus plug?
I lost my mucus plug tonight. Things are happening I can’t wait!!
I’m 40 weeks today! Thank you!
In early labour here, re-watching all interesting videos on the topic in between those random irregular first contractions 😁😁 the mucus plug also just came out - was exactly as you described it - white / beige large snot with a bit of blood in it 😉 excitiiing 😁😁
Your all the videos are so much helpful and knowledgeable 👍
Thank you so much for this info 💕
Been in prodromal labor since last wk. 3cm 80 effaced, and had my bloody show last night and lost the rest of my mucus plug. Cmon lil man!!!
2nd time mom. Refreshing my memory 🤣😫😳
38 weeks just lost it today, can’t wait ❤️
Did you go into labor shortly after?
I usually lose my mucas plug first and go into labor anywhere between 6-10 hours later. I’ve experienced seeing the whole thing at one time and also only a small amount. Enough to know when to call my midwife to let her know. I’m overdue right now with my 4th baby and still waiting for it!
You're videos are so helpful 😊
Due on the 31st December this is really useful for when I give birth to my little boy. So relieved 💙💙
Due on the 26th November and I'm already tired of being pregnant
wow you are just AMAZING thank you soooo much!!!
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and noticed last night I’ve had clear thick stretchy mucus but it wasn’t a whole lot...this is my third baby.. with this baby I’ve had nothing but menstral cramps
When after the mucus discharge did your labor start?
Thanks for the great info!
I'm a certified doula and I totally agree with this!
Lost my mucus plug at 34 weeks. Have been having prodromal labor since then (now at 36 weeks). Contractions throughout the day and 1-2 hours of time-able contractions that are less than 5 minutes apart every night. Last scan showed baby in ROP; doing everything I can to get baby in a better position. Can’t imagine another 4 weeks of this.
Congratulations everyone 💙💓🍾
38 weeks. I just lost my mucus plug. BTW, mine looked like yellow snot, but way thicker... Not egg whites.
Praying for a healthy baby for all the pregnant ladies on here!!!!
Melissa Shows how long after did you have the baby
@@cooldude-qz3bn I was induced at 39 weeks 3 days. Very easy labor.
Mine to i was likee ewwwww😭
Due date is less than 2 weeks away! Binging all your content
40 weeks 3 days 😓 last week I was spotting and liquid coming out m, told my OB he said it’s normal. Now I’ve only been getting lower back pains and my stomach tightness with no pain. I’ve been 1cm dilated for a week now
Mitzi Martinez I’m
40 weeks and 3 days too and nothing! 🤷🏼♀️😞
40 weeks and 2days today and nothing lol, how did y'all birth went ladies?
Same here
My mucus plug went as I was going into active labour and my daughter was born 4 hours later 🥴
Okay I’m almost 39 weeks, dilated 1-2 two days ago when I got checked. Doc could feel baby’s head. I’ve been having steady contractions that last most of the day with cramping and moderate back pain going on 5 days. I just had what sounds like mucous plug come away this morning. Cloudy jelly like with a tinge of brown. You said notify people, do you mean that I should notify my doctor NOW? My next appt is Monday. This will be my first delivery after a mc. Thanks for all your informative videos, I have watched so many! 💓
Due date is 02/16/22, has early labour signs today but patiently waiting and trusting my baby and body 🙏🏼
Omg your due date is today!!! Blessings to you Mama💚
This was my due date too! Still waiting here tho! 😂 hope all went well with yours! 🥰
I lost my mucus plug 2 weeks before my scheduled c section (baby way in the most awkward breech position and despite being turned in utero, she flipped right back around ... side note she is now 8 years old and stubborn as ever, doing things HER way lol). I had a scheduled check up that day and freaked out, showed the midwife my sanitary pad with mucus plug on it, didn’t even know it was a thing lol. Midwife said it’s all good, and that in the far out tribes in Africa etc the mucus plug is when the pregnant woman starts walking to the nearest village, as it may take her a few days on foot to get there. I thought that was super interesting. I had a super slow labour for 2 weeks but nothing major, it was irritating rather than painful. And baby held on in there until c section day.
36 weeks and still haven’t lost my mucus plug. With my other 2 I lost it on the first day of 37 weeks. But they were both one week late. Mine looked like literal phlegm and snot lol about a palm sized amount. I do have soft stools, crazy Braxton Hicks so I’m impatiently waiting for baby 👶🏻
Love from Malaysia for you Bridget! I'm hoping my vbac will be natural n gentle Birth-EDD on 24th Jan 2020. Love all your videos, I'm downloading it and watching it everyday. It's really empowering and educate me. Thank you. Love and hugs for you!!
Farhana Hussaini..Did you have your baby at your due date or before?
I had my sweep yesterday (38 weeks) and the plug just came away this morning!
Anne Springbok - how soon after it came it you have birth. I had my sweep yesterday and the plug came out in the middle of the night and I am not sure what happens after !!!
@@nadinmustafa9806 did you have it that same day?
Thank you so so much!
Plz keep in mind that every pregnancy is different. Mine did not go thos way as my contractions ce so fast and way earlier than they were supposed to. The doc told me to just relax and take a bath.... Smh! I was already going into labor and almost hady baby at home had I listened to the doc! Listen to your body.
First birth I was 39 weeks 2 days and I other than fatigue and nausea which blended with preexisting pregnancy symptoms I had no warning. I woke up one morning and my water broke as I sat up. No blood, just thick clear/yellow/white goop. This time, I just hit my due date today and woke up to pee and had a thick gooey white/clear trail hanging from me! I Hope today is today!
Lost my mucus plug Wednesday and Thursday.... 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant.... any day Lord...I'm so ready.
Update: Successfully had a homebirth! My sweet baby Zaryiah Evie-Joy is two months old today!
how long after you lost your plug did you go into labor?
@@JessiWilsonn a couple of days later.
Im so glad I found your channel! I’m due in 5 days 😬
Congrats! You got this!!!!!
C G thank you!!
Hope your doing well mama ❤️❤️
This is so helpful! I am having this prodromal labor since Saturday and also confused it with braxton hicks.
I had the same issue and they monitored me and it was nothing I guess? I'm so confused because I have every symptom of early labor just not actual labor? Which is good because I'm only 30 weeks but still I am so lost lol
I've had prodomal labour for 5 weeks..
40 weeks + 4 days and just lost my plug. Opaque kind of cream color, gelatinous, and old blood streaks. No contractions... maybe little braxtons that are not even uncomfortable. Zero pain atm... 3 cm dilated and 60-70% effaced (had my exam this morning at 9 am, it is now 11 pm). First baby
im 40 weeks 6days Im also experiencing the same ,im still waiting for the contractions that are a no shower ,did you end up giving birth?
I'm 42 weeks and only just now lost my mucus plug. This is baby #2. I thought I was in labor yesterday, but I wasn't :( I'm not upset about still being pregnant, I think my body handles it well, I just want to meet my baby and I'm eager for a better birth experience than my last birth. My midwife expects tonight, so I'm going to be doing everything I can because if I don't go into labor tonight, I'll have to be induced at 7:30am tomorrow and I would rather not do that. I want the assurance my body knows what it's doing naturally and I had to be induced last time.
I'm ripe and effacing, just no dilation. I had trouble dilating last time too :(
how'd it go
Oh no How'd it go? I'm 41 + 5 with my first. I spent 28 hrs with excruciating contractions yesterday until this morning. Then they suddenly stopped... which I am kind of glad they stopped for a bit because the pain is unreal. Then I lost the plug this afternoon... I don't want to be induced in 2 days Time but I'm also terrified of the pain that's coming. 😫 ahh
@@sukamayoutube2323 that’s what’s happening to me at the moment. How did you go?
Such a good video
I lost my plug one morning and started with light menstrual-like cramping that day. Went into labor the very next day. Amazing how fast it can happen!
this is exactly what's happening to me, hopefully baby comes soon!
That is what I am experiencing today too!! I’m hoping to have some real progress soon. How did everything go for you two?
@@hilaryowen1160 everything seems to be progression quicker! I'll update if he comes early since im only at 38 + 2 right now
@@hilaryowen1160 how did it go for you ladies ? I lost my plug last night but some more this morning then again this afternoon . This is my first and my contractions are getting stronger but ik it’s probably still early stages but I’m past my due date by a week now ..
That happened to me last week!!
I'm due next week! I can not wait. I'm so over pregnancy! I was 2cm last week. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow so I'm looking forward to seeing if I dilated anymore.
Girl how did birth go!? Im 2cm as well as of today and I just can’t take it anymore I just wanna give birth already 😭
I’ve been 2cm for almost 3 weeks now. So over it
I have 2 questions ... #1 How 'big' is the mucus plug? Are we talking about the size of, say a cherry, or are we talking about something closer to, say a kiwi? #2 How long might one expect early labor to last. You mention several times that it can be a while, but what does that mean? Hours? Days?
Thank u
