Am I in labor? (39 weeks pregnant)

[jamsyoink]

Baby being more active, lower back pain (really painful but bearable), abdominal pain (not sharp), pain in vagina (kind of sharp), lots of brown mucus plug, having to pee more often, having the urge to poop, feeling sick, kind of nauseated.

Call the number you've been given for the midwives and ask them. They will ask you to come in if they think you are.

@SayNoToCarrots it’s midnight on a Sunday where I’m at right now. Hope everything goes well!

@jamsyoink surely labour ward/unit is open 24/7? I'm only 20 weeks and have their number already and was told to call any day or night if I had signs of labour!

keep us updated but it sounds like the very early stages of labour.

@MontyBeaujangles my ob’s office is closed on Sundays, but hospital is open. Just wanted to hear some advices from other mommies on here.

@Dvg yes I will it all started yesterday morning.

jams sorry my post didn't mean to sound rude. I was just shocked you couldn't give them a buzz and see what they thought as they'd tell you straight! All very exciting for you. Wishing you all the best

Forgot to mention that my stomach feels hard and has been like this for the last few days

@MontyBeaujangles aw thank you! Good luck on your pregnancy hope everything goes well for you

and your baby.

I just peed a few mins ago and noticed a bright reddish pinkish blood with brown mucus plug on the tissue

Sounds like things are kicking off for you! What advice have you been given re: calling hospital? If you're getting regular pains you should call. Good luck!

Yes sounds like how mine begun

Good luck OP love a labour thread!
