Repost from Pregnancy - Am i in labor?
Hey ladies!!!
This is going to have TMI but i need your opinions!! All last night, i was having pains at semi-regular intervals - maybe a half-hour to 25 minutes apart. The pain was enough that i couldn't sleep and it felt like menstrual cramps - bad ones. I got up to go to the bathroom and noticed pink discharge for the majority of the night into this morning!!
I am still experiencing pain - the kind of pain that i can't walk through. I keep going to the bathroom (to do #2 - sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't). Now the pain is about 15 minutes apart but sometimes it doesn't happen for a half-hour at a time. It is very irregular.
Could i be contracting and the pink discharge is my mucus plug?

Sounds like labor to me! One of the sure signs is that the pain doesn't go away through the night,changing positions, drinking water.
Yeah you!!!

It make take a little while for them to become more regular. In the meantime, drink so water & breathe out slowly....call your doctor too.

Re: Repost from Pregnancy - Am i in labor?
Well, i just took a shower and i haven't felt any pain for about an hour!! Very mild cramps - nothing serious!! I am going to hold off on calling the doctor but something definitely feels different. I rushed to pack my hospital bag...i guess i'll just relax and see what happens!!
When the hubby left for work this morning, i told him it looks like we may be celebrating a birthday today :)

def sounds like early labor. Keep tracking them and time intervals and how long they last.
Baby is coming

Showers are liquid epidurals. When I was in full labor (2-3 minutes apart), I had a 10 minute reprieve from showering.
They told me it in Bradley class but I didn't really believe it. Thought it was a fluke until it happened again with my second labor.

I think that maybe your body is getting ready. It could be any day now.

Re: Repost from Pregnancy - Am i in labor?
I would still call the dr. though - I wasn't sure if I was leaking fluid, and the 1st time was a false alarm, and so I never called and asked the 2nd time around, and i wound up having low fluid - it cant hurt to call the dr....
good luck!!!!

Re: Repost from Pregnancy - Am i in labor?
This is my first day off from work and i have nothing to do except worry about the cramps i had all night long. I know this is my doctor's day off so i am trying to figure things out on my own ( i know that shouldn't matter but i honestly feel ok right now)
I haven't leaked any fluid or anything but i have been spotting and, from what i've read and what my doctor has prepared me for, that it is totally normal!!
You girls are awesome with all of your support!!
