Hey mommas! Sorry to bug y’all with a question that I feel has been asked way too many times.

I’m due in a week and have no idea what contractions or Braxton Hicks feel like. I’ve been told that I have an anterior or front laying placenta which prevents me from feeling much.

However, today @ 39weeks i believe I’ve started to lose my mucous plug and I have what feels like slight menstrual cramping in my lower pelvic area. I still feel no type of pressure, I don’t even know if baby has dropped.

But curious to know after losing your mucous plug how long did it take for your water to break or how long until baby arrived?

I’m really terrified I’ll end up having a sudden birth because I’m unable to feel contractions...

I’ll post a tmi pic of what I believe is my mucous plug for reference-

Also please forgive me if I’ve somehow managed to post this in the wrong group(s)- it’s my first time posting and honestly have no idea how it goes.

UPDATE:

You guys!! I’m over the moon!

Baby Oliver made his appearance a day later at 39 + 1 at exactly 9:07pm weighing 7lbs. 8oz.
