What Does Expelling Of Mucus Plug And Pain In Abdomen And Back Indicate During Pregnancy?
i'm 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. my mucus plug has been coming out and then some fell in the toilet Saturday. Ive been having lower back stomach pain and back pain. could this all mean labor soon ? does the mucus has to necessarily be a "bloody show" in order for me to go into labor ?
Losing the mucus plug means that things are going in the right direction but it doesn't necessarily mean that you re in labor.
Please contact ER immediately in case the intensity of the pain increases,your water bag ruptures, bleeding or the movements of the baby start decreasing. health.
I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM in case of any concers. Wishing you and your baby good
