TMI Labor Question?

Question

Ok.  Here is my run down.  I am 37w4d

I was 3 cm at my doctor's visit at 36w6d and I was 25% effaced.  I had already lost my plug.

This weekend I have had a bloody show once (last night) and nothing else has happened besides a few Braxton Hicks.  Now tonight my back is hurting off and on but no tightening contractions.  When I wipe, I get GOBS of mucous, not just a little here and there like before.  It's almost like I am losing my plug again. The doctor said when he examined me that my plug was all gone.

So my question is, should I wake up my husband and go to the hospital or should I wait and see what happens?

This is my fourth but I was induces with my others so I have never done this on my own and never had the back pain with them either.  Never lost my plug and don't remember the mucous being so much!

I also have been feeling nauseous like in the first trimester.

We have been walking and having sex per the dr's suggestion.

The doc will just tell you to wait it out until your contractions are so-many minutes apart, so don't go to the hospital yet - they may just wind up sending you back home unless your water breaks.  I had 3 kids - all induced - so I'm excited for you!!  I never got the chance to know what "going into labor" was like!!  Congrats & good luck!!!

I lost my plug for days, the nurse told me it doesnt regularly come out all at once.  And I was suprised also by how much mucous there was.  But it never hurts to take a trip to the hospital just to be safe.  With my second I also had back labor.

I've had five - and every labor was different. I would wake your hub and go for a walk around the block. If it's labor (and it sounds like you're in back labor to me, never mind all the mucous, that just adds to my suspicion) it'll just get more consistent and pressing with your walk. Don't go too far from home - your husband may end up having to jog back and get the car to cart you off to the hospital!

Good luck and be blessed! mattie
