Question

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I'm having pressure near my pelvic area and I think my mucus plug is starting to come out. I'm also starting to have Braxton hicks. Is this normal? I'm expecting her to come early since I'm so small and I fear she is getting cramped in her temporary home but don't want my angel to come to soon.

Answer

Trust me your not too small only one of my pregnancies came early and it was because of an infection the other 2 were 40 weeks. I am a 5 ft tall 95 pound woman when not pregnant and believe that belly will stretch more lol. But as far as the Braxton hix go as long as they have no pattern and do not spread to your back then your probably fine. I had them early with my first and a little later with the second. It is your body preparing for labor which is a good thing you will most likely experience them on an off the whole 3rd tri.

I'm really small as well..five feet nothing and have carried both my previous pregnancies past my due date.  Size doesn't make you go in labor quicker , it does however make pregnancy a bit more challenging because there isn't a lot of room for the baby to stretch out.  You may feel more pressure and discomfort due to having a short torso.  I wouldn't worry.  Currently pregnant with our third and my abdomen is aching like a mf..

I'm really super small (5'2" and weigh 125 at 36 weeks) and not expecting an early arrival at all! Try not to worry about size (: as for your mucus plug, if it was a tiny portion of it and not the whole thing it's fine! The mucus plug can actually regenerate over time! I lost a piece at 31 weeks and called my doctors nurse to ask and she said the same thing! You should be good momma (:

Answer

I'm 5 foot and was 116 lbs at delivery day at 41 weeks. Size has nothing to do with it. This is what I looked at a day before she was born.
My daughter was born at 41 weeks via non induced vaginal delivery.  She was 7 lbs 1 ounce and 19 inches long. She scored a 9.9 out of 10 on her Apgar tests.  She's perfect.
Ps- I was all belly, and I hurt in every possible way...

Answer

Okay so I shouldn't be worried? How do I know for sure it was my mucus plug by the way? I was 90 when I got pregnant and I'm 115 now
