I keep feeling a tightening pain in my lower stomach. It's been happening all day but on and off. I think my body is just getting ready. With my daughter I lost my mucus plug and my water broke. Anyone else having this happening? I'm kind of scared that I'll go early...can you be going into labor without losing your mucus plug or water breaking?
@mommashrimp, definitely. Thanks for the advice.
@haleylove2011, yea my daughter came early when I was 38 weeks and my OB was saying he will probably come early too. Good luck at your appointment.
There's nothing wrong with going in to be checked out if you're concerned. Even if it's nothing, it's better to be safe than sorry.
@mommashrimp, yea I've been getting Braxton hicks for awhile now..I'm worried about this pain because it's been happening all day but I'll time them. Sure it's nothing
yes ur 2nd does come faster, I've heard that too, and I'm 34weeks and dilated to 1 1/2 cm since January 6th and going back the 3rd of February and getting checked, my obgyn thinks she's going to be here before my due date in March
Braxton Hicks. I've been having them since before 30 weeks. 35 weeks now and still no baby. Good thing about Braxton Hicks, though, is that they tend to go away if you change what you're doing. If you're sitting down and get them, stand up and walk around. If you're standing up and get them, sit/lay down and relax for a while.
@haleylove2011, okay. Good to know. I'm afraid I'm going to wait to long and think it's nothing but really be something. I always hear the 2nd comes faster.
@lovelycin09, okay. It's driving me crazy. I don't remember feeling this with my daughter. I had her just last year.
yes u can I went into labor with my son then went to the hospital dilated to a 3 and lost my mucus plug then 6cm water broke, now I'm 34wks with my daughter and I have lost a little piece of my mucus plug tonight
i had since 32-34 weeks im 38 weeks now and still haven't gave birth its just our body preparing for labor.with my first son i never lost my mucus plug and my water never broke i was just having really strong contractions 5 mins apart and really bad back pain.
Just lost my mucus plug plug when did everyone go in labor after they lost they mucus plug
I just lost my mucus plug and it was really big.
This didn't happen to me my first pregnancy.
Does that mean anything or am I suppose to anything when that happens??
Mucus plug
So I started losing bits of my mucus plug & I know it's normal and can regenerate. The nurse told me it can happen and I still go to 41 weeks (I hope not). But I'm just curious what anyone else's experience with losing it early was in the past, did you still carry until a full 40 weeks? Or did you go a bit early?
Actually in so much tears the pain is unreal 😩😫I don't know what to do my waters haven't gone and I've still got my mucus plug
Ummm i need help i jus lost my mucus plug I’m 37 weeks is labor near or i still gta wait
@kriisssroxana, thank u :)
