labor coming soon?

Erin
I'm 36 weeks + 5 days !!! I've been losing pieces of my mucus plug for 3 days now and today it's increased in amount every time i wipe , with a little bit of brown tinge( I'm not sure if that is from my cervical exam or not on Friday) ! I'm 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced As of Friday! And I've cramped nonstop since then . Does this mean labor is soon? I'm so ready for baby boy to get here . How long did you lose your mucus plug in pieces before you went into labor ?
