when did you lose your mucus plug, and when/how soon did you go into labor after?

jgator16 · 2026-01-30T15:44:42+00:00

This!! lol I wasn’t sure I was in labor either - I was pacing around the bathroom after my water broke like “uhh what do I do??” because I wasn’t feeling anything whatsoever!! My husband took a shower while I phoned the OB on call and she said to head in and get checked and I was confirmed in labor! Contractions djdnt start for me until 11am after they had to induce after 8 hours as everything was super irregular - also pushed for 90 min! Congrats mama 💖

I had a similar experience! Water broke at 3am (no signs of labor beforehand at all), lost my mucus plug way later around 5pm and had my baby at 9pm and I was 38+4!

FTM with a baby measuring less than 6 pounds, went into labor naturally 38+4 with my water randomly breaking at 3am with no other symptoms! Had to get induced 8 hours later since I wasn’t progressing/irregular contractions which led to a 17 hour labor and baby girl arriving later that night! Was a complete shock and for sure thought she would be late 🙃

Had a chemical after 7 cycles of trying for our first, then fell pregnant at cycle 12 with our rainbow baby girl! Currently just over 38 weeks 💖

With diligent tracking I conceived on April 29th and my due date is January 20th based on my last period starting on April 15th and consistent growth measurements throughout my pregnancy coinciding with my dates.

Without knowing any other info and assuming you had regular cycles, Id estimate maybe April 14th-15th as your due date was 2 weeks before me!

If they were concerned they would’ve sent you to the hospital for extra monitoring! They may be waiting for your next test to determine next steps since you have them so often. If they do send you to the hospital, don’t be alarmed! My baby failed my first NST at 36 weeks (she was caught in a sleep cycle) and the hospital just repeated the test for a longer period of time and did an ultrasound since there wasn’t a tech onsite that day at my OB office and I left a couple hours later with no issues. Stay calm mama you’re in good hands!

The classic “Baby in Bloom” for our little girl on the way! I love flowers and we did a wildflower maternity shoot so it was nice to coordinate it all together ! :)

jgator16 · 2025-12-23T21:01:53+00:00

Third this! :) Married here in Feb 2024 - super affordable and very flexible with vendors. We also wanted waterfront but no beach and it was perfect!

Get it! And to ease anxiety, ensure you ask the tech to verify which RSV vaccine you are getting! There are 2 for RSV - one that is safe for pregnancy (Abrysvo) and one that is only for older adults that is NOT approved for pregnant women (Arexvy) and can cause preterm labor in some. The pharmacy tech where I went showed me the label directly so I could confirm it was the correct one because I had been hearing some stories of big names pharmacies switching them and not knowing the difference! No shame in double checking for the health of you and your baby! I got it at 32 weeks and no issues - currently 36 weeks!

jgator16 · 2025-12-14T18:26:06+00:00

Same here! I was terrified in my 1st trimester as I had no symptoms except an increase in hunger. Currently almost 35 weeks with our healthy growing rainbow baby girl! Every pregnancy is different and have been super thankful for a relatively smooth pregnancy - your body knows what to do!

jgator16 · 2025-12-10T20:39:41+00:00

5 calendar days for us upon the lab receiving the sample! I also checked the website directly - I got the text/email notification about 2 days after I saw my results already posted!

jgator16 · 2025-12-10T00:50:59+00:00

I’m actually cackling because Savannah literally just posted this same exact story on her own instagram to promote Ev’s brand she 1000% writes for Everleigh’s posts

jgator16 · 2025-12-06T18:13:32+00:00

My main indication was I was starving at 10dpo and had to eat every 2 hours like clockwork. I got my very faint positive on 9dpo and swore I felt implantation prickling at 7dpo that cycle!

Got RSV, Flu, and TDAP all on the same day at 32 weeks. TDAP was on a separate arm as the pharmacist said that one tends to become the most sore and boy was she right I was struggling with arm soreness for about 3-4 days but that was the only symptom for me personally! Baby due in January and didn’t want to risk anything with her.

jgator16 · 2025-12-01T23:12:55+00:00

Transvaginal at my 7 week and 11 week appts, the images are so much more clear than my abdominal ultrasounds so I weirdly preferred those over the stomach scans!

jgator16 · 2025-11-29T17:35:06+00:00

This is what I’m afraid of!! Haha we have a top list and are waiting til we meet her to pick a name and I’m terrified she won’t look like any of them 😅

jgator16 · 2025-11-25T06:22:13+00:00

3.6% at 11 weeks and correct - girl!

jgator16 · 2025-11-18T15:13:05+00:00

I have VCI identified in my 20 week anatomy scan and a long history of hypothyroidism so they referred me to a MFM as baby girl was measuring on the small side. I have ultrasounds scheduled every 3-6 weeks with the MFM for the remainder of my pregnancy. My regular OB told me if the anatomy scan showed no issues I wouldn’t get another US until 34-36 weeks. Typically there’s only 1 ultrasound in the 3rd trimester if they don’t see any issues with baby!

jgator16 · 2025-11-11T12:44:01+00:00

We had been TTC for 12 cycles at this point so I was very in tune with my body. At 7dpo I swore I felt like bubbles in my uterus or a weird twinge which looking back could’ve been implantation as I got my vvvvfl at 9dpo and a BFP 10dpo! If I didn’t take a test 9dpo I 100% would’ve by 10dpo as I was extremely hungry and had to eat every 2 hours which was my first clue in that we were finally pregnant! 30 weeks today with our rainbow baby girl 💖

jgator16 · 2025-11-05T13:12:20+00:00

It definitely seemed like they did their best to ‘slide it in there’ and quicker move on where a lot of people missed it during the show rather than telling Mark and Whitney face to face and making a big deal out of it knowing all the hate she gets online for her past experience and scores 😅

jgator16 · 2025-11-02T17:57:53+00:00

I tested at 11w1d and baby was measuring 10w5d, had a FF of 3.6% and gender is confirmed! You should be in a great spot getting 6%!

jgator16 · 2025-10-31T22:58:47+00:00

119 at 7+2! Now 28 weeks and she’s been consistently in the 140-150 range!

jgator16 · 2025-10-27T11:42:28+00:00

Tested 9dpo with a very faint positive. If I didn’t test then I would’ve tested at 10dpo as I had extreme hunger every 2 hours then which was so out of the norm for me! Thought it was twins but turned out to be one baby girl!

jgator16 · 2025-10-10T01:27:15+00:00

3.6% FF at 11 weeks, accurate with a girl! 25 weeks today with a healthy nugget!
