Okay ladies i hope what im about to say isnt tmi but i was wondering the following - is the lost of mucus plug, diarrhea, and lower abdominal cramps signs of labor approaching? This pregnancy is totally different and i promise it makes me feel like its my first time all over again. Any experience/advise would be greatly appreciated
