I think I’m in labor??

So I’m 38+6. I lost the rest of my mucus plug this morning with some blood and I’m feeling what I imagine contractions would feel like every 5-7 minutes?? My water hasn’t broken necessarily but about 10 seconds after I’m done peeing a little bit of liquid follows which is what my mom said her water breaking was like - a slow leak. Does this sound like labor or possibly just false labor with Braxton hicks??

Easiest thing to do is go and get checked if you are unsure lovely.

Definitely sounds like it. Call your OB office ASAP. Even if they're not open on the weekends, call them anyway because they usually have someone on call for after hours.

@Illyana Think that depends on each person. I could talk through all of my contractions before my waters broke. My sister was laughing at me in the car cause she knew exactly when I was having one cause I'd take a deep breath in and carry on talking.

Thank you ladies!! I think I’m gonna go get checked out just in case 🫶🏻

@Illyana I have a very high pain threshold, I was 6cm dilated when I got to the hospital. My first contraction after my waters went was that strong it made me vomit.

@Cachet Good luck lovely, hope everything goes well

Your contractions are 5-7 minutes apart consistently and you said you lost all your mucous plug?!? Please get check

To me it sounds like you could be in early labor! Definitely worth getting checked out, yay!!!!

Hope you went and got checked! Sounds like you were in labor 🤗

Yes I went in!! Early labor! Contractions were every 4 minutes but not super hard! I wasn’t dialating past 1.5 cm so after four hours they sent me home! That was around 5. Im headed back now as they’re about tjeee minutes apart and they HURT

@Cachet oh yay, you got this!

@Cachet yay congratulations!!! Praying all goes well ❤️

He’s here!!!

Aww congratulations he is beautiful. Well done Mama

@Cachet congrats! He’s precious 💙
