I’m having my third, and yes I expect it to be a fast labor once I reach active. However this is my first baby I ever experience painful latent phase that lasted 48+ hours (Saturday until Monday) It’s been a little over a full day and half since I lost the very first large piece of my bloody show. And since then MULTIPLE smsller bloody pieces… does the bloody pieces I’m getting mean I’m making more cervical change ? Yesterday I was 4cm 50% and -2 so I’m hoping today at my doctor I’m more progressed. I cannot wait to get baby OUT!

Here is my initial show I lost around 11am on Monday.

And here is 5am Wednesday morning

(Not contracting yet)

And I have been losing small pieces like this last picture between then and now but this one has that more “fresh blood” look to it! I’m trying to gauge how far away my active labor is cause I have kids who go to school and dad is about an hour away for emergencies (we are separated)
