Answer 1

Sounds like you might be losing your mucus plug. That is not necessarily a sign that labor is coming soon though. Good luck! Congrats on your first baby!

Answer 2

Your losing your mucous plug. Hope labor follows shortly. Congrats on your baby.

Answer 3

i would ring your doctor and ask them about it as they will be able to offer a little more advice. but sounds like your no to far away

Answer 4

like everyone else has said , it sounds like your mucus plug, and labor souinds like it's very near!! good luck to you .

Answer 5

Sounds like you're gradually losing your mucous plug.  This means different things for different women.  Some take weeks before they go into labor and some go into labor within hours.  For me, I had my baby within a day!  Haha.  Anyway, no need to panic or anything.  When those contractions start getting painful and close, you'll know it's time to go.  Good luck and CONGRATS!!!!

Answer 6

It's called the bloody show!  Which means labor is expected in your future very soon!!!!  When labor started for me, they felt like mild cramps, and then felt like diareah cramps...but 50xs worse!!!  Good Luck!!!!!!!
