Could i be in labor?

[Braylie15]

Went to my OB yesterday and he checked my cervix. I was 4 centimeters dilated and 100% effaced. He then went to swipe my membranes but there was nothing left for him to get. At around 2 this morning i started getting this horrible stabbing pain in my back and pelvis and my stomach got really hard. This lasted til around 5 and stopped. And has happened a few more times. Could this be early labor?

Starting at 2 it would last for about ainute and stop for about 15 and start again. It totally stopped at 5 this morning and then its been happening on and off all day

Yes! You're nearly half way dilated and fully effaced and you're having regular contractions. Good luck :-)

Thanks!!

How exiting , good luck!

Now i havnt had anything but sharp pains in my vag for the last few hours. Shouldnt contractions keep coming? I read that the first stage of labor could last up to 20 hours but this is ridiculous. Should i go to the hospital and see what they say?

The ones in my pelvis are regular but the ones in my back will ease off and then come back with a vengence. Like i just got hit with a sledgehammer in my lower back

They will start and last for about a minute and are about 11 minutes apart. Also had the bloody show already

Fair warning might be tmi but my mucus plug has already come out and now im having all this REALLY thick mucus stuff coming out. Its soaked my underwear 4 times today and just did it again

Yes you're on labour. I'd get myself to the hospital before the morning traffic starts.

Best of luck with everything Braylie15, hope it all goes well!

Had my daughter yesterday morning! Water finally broke at 11:45 at night and had her delivered by 8:15 so pretty quick labor. She is 6 pounds and 12.4 ounces and 19 3/4 inchs long.

Congratulations!

Lovely news! Congratulations!

Oh, fab ! Massive congratulations and well done!
