Am I in labor??

Question

So I’m 39w5d today and as of Tuesday I was about 2-3cm and 80% effaced..I had one REALLY strong contraction last night that took my breath away and all thru the night I was cramping. Woke up this morning and lost more of my mucus plug that was tinged with blood and I’m continuing to get cramps that are pretty strong but I wouldn’t say regular and lower back pain. This is my first baby if you can’t tell so I don’t know exactly what to expect !? Should I call my midwife or wait and see if I get more contractions?

Answer

Sound exactly like the beginning of labor. You’ll be in what they call “active labor” once your contractions are 5 minutes apart for an hour. Which could start at any minute. I’d wait until the contractions are 5 minutes apart for an hour and then call your mid-wife. Good luck, Momma!

Answer

Definitely call your midwife.

Answer

Sounds like the start it probably will continue on until your full blown laboring . Try to relax and good luck!

Answer

M in 37 weeks first time mom n having lower back pain will meet doctor though, I think u should call ur midwife because in hospital nurses n doctors will not wait after 20 hours n they do c section so first ask midwife.
