Labor soon?!?

Question

So I was induced at 41 weeks with my first and 39 with my second but now with my third I’m 36 weeks and having an increase in discharge and a lot of Braxton hicks which I never noticed with the first 2. Could this be a positive sign that maybe this baby will come on the earlier side?!? This pregnancy has been so rough and I’m just ready to get this baby out!

Answer

This is my 5th baby and all I can say is do not get too excited. I’ve been 3cm, lost mucous plug, bh every 10 minutes for over 4 weeks before. It’s called prodromal labor and it is brutal. Lots of baths, rest and bouncing on a birthing ball can help to greatly prime your cervix for birth which will make it so much quicker and easier! Also start looking into evening primrose and red raspberry leaf tea 
Good luck and congratulations!!!!

Answer

Maybe! 🤞🏼
I could only wish from my own experience! With my second I lost large chunks of my mucus plug (even blood tinged) from 30-36 weeks, preterm labor at 32? Ish weeks (had steroid shots) and CONSTANT braxton hicks until delivery and still delivered 2 days after his due date. 
I’m currently 36 weeks and have had constant braxton hicks for 3 days now- I’ve been losing blood tinged mucus plug since last week, and I feel like absolute garbage (migraine, back pain, loose stools, can’t sleep, major lightning crotch). I still think this baby will hold out as long as he can. 😅
