FTM here

36 + 4. I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said I was 1 cm dilated, 60% effaced, at 0 station, and this is the 3rd day I have had some mild contractions. I had what could have been part of my mucus plug this morning; it was definitely a different consistency and thicker than my normal discharge, but I wonder if it could have been gel from my exam yesterday. Any thoughts on whether this means baby is coming soon or if I could stay this way for a while?
