Labour and mucus plug

Hi guys,

I'm 35 weeks and for the last 3 days I'm so uncomfortable been losing chunks of my mucus plug and feeling like my waters are going to explode due to do much pressure. Have had on and off period pains and discomfort... My body did a clear out yesterday D and V. Something seems different and it's been 9 years since my last one so I can't remember anything. Anyone else had this and did you go into labour much longer after? Thanks ladies xx
