Pre-Labour??????
Hi, I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. My daughter was a completely different pregnancy right from the start to this one. I live nearly and hour and a half away from the hospital so am a little nervous. I have been having a clear jelly like discharge for the last few weeks and have being needing to urinate nearly every 30 minutes during the day and today passed 5 stools when I have been having difficulty with regular stools through out this pregnancy. For the last 3 - 4 days I have also been experiencing medium - strong cramping irregularly in my lower back and lower abdominal area. I have also been having pain in my pelvic region when I go to stand from a sitting or laying down position and sometimes even walking. He feels extremely low and has become a little more active also for the last few days. I feel a little silly asking because I feel I should already know but are these signs of pre-labour and should I be contacting my midwife?

I'm 36wks 5days and have been experiancing all of ur symptons as well the past few weeks except my mucus was a lil colored ne how I've been having plenty of BM's as well no problem b4 tho.. And my baby is extremely low as well my DH will no longer have sex with me bc of it lol.. Ne how this is my 4th and u never know what to expect every pregnancy is different and u seem to forget neways.. But my midwife said any 10 contractions in an hour then u need to go to L&D.. But I just had my appt. Yesterday and I was dilated 2cm and 60% effaced.. But i believe all of these is signs of pre-labor but u can b in pre-labor for days, weeks and sometimes months.. Some symptoms just come sooner and u gotta deal with them. But just like me u r getting closer.. Just pay attention to ur contractions and if u have more then 10 in an hour then go in or call especially if ur relaxing.. But if ur concerned make a earlier appt. To ease ur mind. Good luck xxx
i would contact your midwife just in case. as long as your mucousy show is not pink/ blood tinged, it could be babys positioning making you need the bathroom more often and coming up to your due date that braxton hicks are starting. iv had the show since 14 weeks, this is my second pregnancy. i also feel i should already know but every pregnancy is different. they may ask you to come in for an examination and see what the story is down below. good luck
