Early labor??

Question

Okay im now 38w4d and all of a sudden having shooting type pains in my vagina and having watery and clear type discharge? Whats going on?

Answer

When your mucous plug falls out that means you are close to going into labor. Mine fell out yesterday and I had period like cramps for two days before. I'm 37w & 4d now

Answer

I have had those "lightning" pains for several weeks. (I am now 37 weeks.) the doctor says its normal. It's the baby hitting the cervix or the nerves surrounding the cervix. It's pretty unfun.

Answer

I've been having the same thing since 34 weeks.  The shooting pains are sometimes called lightening pains and are due to baby having engaged in the pelvis.  Extra discharge is normal at this point in pregnancy.  I don't think you're in labor yet, mama, but you are getting closer!
