Are Having Contractions Signs Of Labour During Last Trimester Of Pregnancy?
On Sunday I lost some of my mucus plug, it was clear and odorless and it came with a small dot of blood. Since then I've been loosing just some brown almost peach like discharge. Yesterday I started with painful contractions that I could bare with. Today, they started more intense and I woke up at 1 in the morning because of the pain and I just could really fall back asleep when I did manage to sleep I was woken by the contractions. At around 7 in the morning I started to really count my contractions and they were about 2 to 5 min apart and lasted about 35 to 40 seconds for about an hour. Now, i get contractions that are like 3 min apart and last about 40 sec but I only get two or three. Should I wait till my doc appointment tondo or should I head to the hospital. My stomach is also harder now. I'm 40 weeks tomorrow.
