Is this the real thing or the start of it?

Question

I noticed this morning and during the day that I've been loosing my mucus plug. Hours later I'm now getting this period cramp feeling in my lower back that seems to be a little more intense than normal. I dont want to rush to the hospital for nothing especially bc I'm only 36 weeks, although my doctor said I'm mesuring at 38 and started dialing on Friday. Not really sure on what I should do.

Answer

I’ve been loosing bits of my music plug and noticed an increase in discharge for a week now. Braxton Hicks are getting more intense and I get lower back pain as well. However, nothing consistent or that can be timed. I have my weekly appointment on Tuesday, so I’ll see what the doctor says. But for you, I would either just wait until your next appointment/the contractions are closer together or call your doctor and see what they recommend.

Answer

I had the exact same signs, with lots of pink mucus. Went to the doctor to get checked and I was 80% and 1cm. I’ve been having lots of contractions, mucus, period achiness ALL week and still pregnant. I go tomorrow to be checked again. I wouldn’t rush to the hospital unless baby isn’t moving as much, your water breaks or you have contractions consistent.

Answer

Go to l&d that back pain is probably back labor I would go in
