Ok so I’m 38 weeks and 4 days today and I just went to the bathroom and the entire giant mucus plug came out. No blood or blood tinge though and while I’ve been experiencing cramping and lower back pain, the baby is still moving actively and I have no contractions. I also had my membrane sweep done on Tuesday afternoon.

Does this mean my labor is starting today? I’m near my hospital now but I was going to head home. Thing is I live almost 2 hours from the hospital. Should I stay near the hospital in case she arrives today???????
