Question ladies, yesterday morning I woke up to my pants bloody with almost pink thick like blood, continued bleeding lightest throughout the day and had menstrual like cramps all day. By the end of the night I still had menstrual like cramps but started getting more severe cramps every 30 minutes or so with the menstrual like cramps as the in between. I slept okay through the night, woke up in more severe pain, had some pink bloody discharge again and now I've been getting bad cramps every 30 minutes or so again but much more painful than yesterday. And nothing I do eases them I just have to tough them out. Is this the start of labor? And is there anything I can do to move them along faster?
