36 weeks lost mucus plug

[usern123]

Hi,
Ive just turned 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I lost my mucus plug yesterday in the bath. Before this was having pains and since then my pains have gotten a lot worse like very severe period cramps and goes around onto my back. Shooting pains come and go every couple of mins but when there's no shooting pains in my belly it's still very hard and sore.

The baby is still moving okay but even more sorer. Am I in active labour or? Thanks x

Based on what you've described I'd say yes! And phone maternity unit right now. I lost my mucus plug with my first at 6am and was in established labor about an hour later.

All contractions were in my back, nothing in the front. What your experiencing sounds like contractions to me.

Best of luck

As ur having pains too it could be. You might want to call hospital for advice.

I lost mine around 37wks with both my kids. My first wasn't born Until 41wks after being induced. I was excited thinking she was coming and then nothing 🙈 Second baby I lost it that morning and my waters broke very late that night and she was born 11am next day.
