Brown discharge 40+1

Hi mamas! I just had today membrance sweep, like 4h ago and now i noticed brownish discharge, looks like mucus plug but before i had it yellowish/greenish. Maybe someone had the same? Should i worry or it mean baby will come soon? Midwife only told to worry about bright pink discharge🙈

Luvs or Huggies for premmies?

Just like my other babies, I know this one is going to be in premmies size until a month old. If you don't mind, please put your suggestions in comments. It's hard to see the polls without actually having to vote

Inducing labour

Has anyone started anything that helps soften the cervix or promote cervical dilation etc. Anything like raspberry leaf tea, dates etc. Is it too early to start these as I’ll be 35 weeks on Tuesday?

Swollen pelvis

Good evening everyone 🤍🫶🏼 hope you’re all ok!! I’ve had to come off work a little earlier than I wanted as I’m struggling to move around. I’m usually very active so finding it tricky 😭 but in the last few days I’ve noticed that I’m swollen just under the bump, like at the front… I don’t know how to explain it haha…
