Since I might forget the details, thought I'd share the details of how things are getting started for me.

Night before last, I woke up with some mild period-like aches. Yesterday morning my discharge was mildly pink, then in the afternoon I found dried old-looking blood in my underwear. Shortly following this my discharge started getting heavier with blood and jelly-like, so definitely my show, my cramps are getting more painful and feeling them in my lower back too, and my braxton hicks are more frequent and stronger but not regular. Maybe we're getting an October baby! I'm 39 weeks today. Sorry for all the details but figured it'd be interesting for other FTMs!
