Should I call my dr.? FTM

Question

I am 39 weeks. Yesterday I noticed yellowish discharge and just a few minutes ago I wiped & it was thick brown mucus like with some pink. I've been having cramp like feelings since last night. Should I wait it out or go to the hospital? FTM & this is new to my sisters 😥

Answer

Sounds like your mucous plug, it's normal. I started seeing bits of mine at 36 weeks. Baby didn't come until 39+6.

Answer

Go ahead and call, sometimes the mucus plug is blood tinged sometimes it's not, sometimes it means labor is soon sometimes it doesn't I lost my mucus plug with all 3 of my girls all at once each time only a couple days before actual labor the 3rd time it had blood in it but none in my previous 2 pregnancies and this last pregnancy I lost it little at a time sometimes with a little blood sometimes with none and that went on about a week and a half before actual labor

Answer

Probably nothing to be concerned about. But I'd still call and get some reasurance. At least that way they can tell you what to look for, so you'll be more confident when the time comes. Which could be soon  🎉

Answer

Sounds like you'll be going into labor soon. I was lossing my mucus plug for weeks...BUT the nighg before my water broke it was a pinkish drown color. I would wait it out though if your contractions aren't consistent.

Answer

Just keep an eye on the cramps. If they start coming more regularly, then you're in labor. These exact things happened to me the night I went into labor. The cramps just got more intense, more regular and starting coming closer together and lasting longer.

I would just call the doc to make them aware of what's happening.

Answer

I would wait it out. Doesn't sound like active labor
