Second baby! I didn't really experience going into labor last time. I was induced at 40+5. Since yesterday I have felt really nauseous, a lot of bh contractions, I keep getting that bearing down feeling, I've lost a bunch of my mucus plug, my hips/ inner thighs are really sore and I've gone # 2 a lot more than I normally do. And he's dropped down pretty far. Does it sound like the beginning of labor?
