I'm going to be 37 weeks on Sunday (2 hours from now) & this morning I woke up to use the bathroom & my mucus plug came out. I got my cervix checked 2 days prior and was at 1 CM & 50% effaced. I started having contractions on Friday but wasn't really sure if it was a contraction or not cus it wasn't that painful. Now today, Saturday, I've been having them all day about 10-20 mins apart & they're getting more & more painful. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't plan on going to the hospital till they're more regular and about 4 mins apart.. & I've heard some stories where girls have contractions like these for days/weeks before labor actually starts. But I really hope they don't last for days bc they're starting to get really painful!
