so they stripped my membranes today and i think i just lost my mucus plug..i have been contracting and my lower back is killing me..i guess how long will i go into labor..i really hope its like tomorrow because my dr is on call..thanks ladies
try bouncing on an exercise ball! or just the edge of your bed if you don't have a ball. that's what kept mine consistent
im timing then they was about 5-7 minutes apart..of course they have stopped..im just super uncomfortable and hope it starts soon. @taylorrleee1
Oh and my contractions weren't really painful until after my doctor broke my water at 8 cm
same thing happened to me and I went into labor that night. the back pain could be back labor. If your having contractions, time them even if they're not painful. mine were 7-10 minutes apart when I left for the hospital and 1 1/2-2 minutes apart by the time I made it there and it's only 10 minutes from my house. trust your instincts!
i lost my plug but have no contractions
