I lost my mucus plug this morning when I got up to go to the bathroom. I'm 39 weeks exactly today, and for the last 30 minutes or so I've been getting these sharp pains in my lower abdomen but it doesn't feel like tightening is just pain and uncomfortable and I'm not really sure if it's contractions or not. The pains kind of come and go and it's all in my lower belly area I haven't really felt anything in my back and it just doesn't feel like a squeeze to me like the Braxton Hicks did. Anybody else experience anything like this I don't want to go to the hospital if it's nothing or just me being over egar to have this baby and psyching myself out.

I had sharp pains in my lower abdomen before. It felt like trapped gas. Doctor said it could be either round ligament pain or contractions.

That's how I felt , time them on the contraction app and it will tell you. At first I thought mine was Braxton hicks, and they were indeed real lol.
