Signs of labor?
FTM here! I am due October 1st, and on Thursday, I started losing my mucus plug. I had a bloody show on Friday. Since Thursday, I’ve had consistent cramping in my lower abdomen, especially when standing. My contractions are still far apart, short and mild- they still feel just like Braxton Hicks.
Does this all sound normal? It has felt like period cramps non-stop since Thursday. I read that contractions can feel like this, not necessarily like tightening. Is labor actually starting, or does this just sound like late pregnancy pain?
If it’s early labor, how long did your early labor symptoms last?
