rivkaJust in case I wasn't off-balance enough, emotionally, today I passed two pieces of my mucus plug. About a teaspoonful each time, tinged with a little bit of blood.
I am so not ready to leave work and give birth, I cannot even begin to tell you. Ready for the baby, yes - although I'd prefer that he wait until he's full term, which would be sometime toward the middle of next week. Ready for maternity leave? No way.
I didn't freak out until after the second time. I called my midwife's office. Her very calm and level-headed assistant told me that it's entirely normal, especially in a subsequent pregnancy, to lose pieces of the plug quite early on. It doesn't mean I'm going into labor. It just probably means that I am dilating a little more.
Whew.
I think I now have the impetus I need to really, really focus my mind on getting things done here so that I can leave when I need to. Because, yeah. One of these days it's going to be the real thing.
