39 weeks pregnant and having irregular contractions and tons of heavy discharge?

Question

I am dilated to 2 cm and I am so uncomfortable! My son is five and i had him a week early, so I don't really remember what pre -labor symptoms are like! Every night I have been having contractions, but they are irregular and not extremely strong! Then just yesterday I started getting these globs of thick mucus coming out (sorry tmi) any ideas???

Answer 1

when i was far into labor w/ my second i had lots of blood streaked mucous. it was gross. but anyway, u sound like your about to be in labor if your not already. maybe your baby will come fast once things do get rolling b/c your body has done so much so far.

Answer 2

i am going through the same thing.

i am 40 weeks now with the same things your having

ex-specially the whole uncomfortable thing!

i went to the dr but they said everything was normal

i wasn't in labor but she said i could go into labor anytime

Answer 3

It sounds like you are in the process of losing your mucus plug.  Time your contractions and call your doctor and let him know what is going on, He may have you wait until contractions become more regular before you go in.

Answer 4

DONT GO TO THE ER THEY WILL JUST SEND YOU HOME!

You seem to be losing your mucus plug, you will know when you are having contractions. I think you are having Braxton Hicks. Normal!

Answer 5

That is your mucus plug coming out. This can happen several hours or even days before the onset of true labor. If you can sleep through some of the contractions you are probably in the early stages.

Answer 6

You are in labor.  Go to the Dr. or ER.
