labor? help!

Adriane

I'm due tomorrow (10/12) and I've been having cramps for 2 days. I lost my mucous plug on Friday. I just woke up with cramps and now I have a bloody discharge. The cramps are about 5-8 min apart and have been for about an hour. They aren't really strong though. Is this the start of labor? Should I go to the hospital? Or should I wait and see if things intensify? I can feel Adalyn moving so I know she's okay, I just don't want to go in if its unnecessary.

I would call the hospital and ask what they suggest. But I personally prefer to stay home as long as possible.

I want to have a natural birth so I plan to stay at home as long as possible too... the cramps have gotten more painful but farther apart. I think I'm just going to try my best to get some sleep and hope that things continue to progress. @tinka1326 thanks!
