Do NOT panic

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I have a doc apt tomorrow I think I lost my mucus plug or something
Only because when I wipe I have tiny tiny dots of blood when I wipe and feel like im leaking... I have had some contractions yesterday and some today they last 36 sec at the most and far apart but today my whole lower back area"cramped up" and tummy tighten at same time it was painful but went away when I took a shower
Im close to 36 wks
Baby is head down bur haven't dropped
I have had tons pf pressure on my pelvic area and vag area (sorry? Lol)
What do u think is going on?
Since my apt is in the morning I prefer not going in to the north center
plus last tine I went to the birth center everythi.g was normal and I was worried over nothing....
Imvnot worried yet so what do u think?

  • I would say its false labor since it goes away when you shower... it doesn't mean real labor is far off, though, you could start any time. Real labor does NOT go away or let up no matter what you do. If you lost your mucus plug it can still be a few days until labor. I think you'll be fine until tomorrow morning unless your contractions start becomming more regular & intensify, not start & stop. Just try to get a good nights' rest just in case. :)
  • @vette_devil that's whahvi was thinking :)
    I needed that lol
    the blood think freaked me out
    but it was not alot at all
    Could it be im starting to dilate?
  • Lol... no worries! Yes, it could mean you're starting to dilate, but again that can still mean that labor is days- or weeks- away... I only saw a tiny bit of blood w/ my first, but I was already in early labor... I never saw any "mucus" at all... everyone's different!
  • @vette_devil yupp, that what I been told lol honestly im kinda excited :)
    I wait my son out but I could wait til 40 wks because I have a lot to do lol
