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.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Contractions can be a symptom of labour starting during last trimester of pregnancy. Also you have completed 40th weeks of pregnancy, so you should rush to your gynaecologist now.
Don't wait for your appointment rush to hospital now

Hoping your query is solved
good luck
