TMI post, bloody stuff. I’m 37 weeks and 3 days, and since Thursday night I’ve been having strong tightening contractions but they don’t really hurt too much so I haven’t gone in. All the while, I’m having this bloody stuff come out of me when I wipe. I’m not sure if it’s bloody show as it’s happened to me before earlier on in this pregnancy (28 weeks on randomly). But I’m having so much pain when I stand and walk in my hips and pelvic bones from the baby, things feel like locked up and tight and painful. Is this all normal? Are these signs of active labor coming soon? Am I in early labor? Should it hurt more? The contractions are strong but mainly just feel like tightening and releasing after about a minute. Then they calm down after a while and pick back up again.
