40 weeks 6 days pregnant.. i need some opinions as to whats happening?

i woke up around 5:30ish this morning and started having early labor contractions they weren't painful they felt like alot of presure and was getting more intense and coming every 9 to 10 minutes until about 7 O CLOCK.. i then fell back asleep and woke up and they were gone... i got up to use the bathroom and wiped and a little brown sticky discharge was on the tissue... anybody know what can be going on?

YES! you just lost ur mucus plug!
i was 41 weeks when i gave birth
and it wasn't until after i lost my mucus plug that i got contractions
they were 10 minutes apart for the longest time
i went to bed but i couldn't sleep bc they started getting worse
so i went to the dr around 5 am was admitted and had my little love bug around 6:42 pm
Congrats! ur close!!!


Good Luck mama! <3

No worries. Sounds like you are getting ready but not quite there. It may take a little longer to really get going. Rest, drink some fluids. Good luck.

Sounds like your body is getting ready for labor your just not there yet.. I wouldn't be concerned though

It sounds like you're going into labor. Call your doctor!
