37 weeks and 2 days prego

I been having contractions since 6:50 this morning they were 7-8 mins apart then later in the morning they changed 8-10 mins apart so I called my doctor and they admitted me to keep eye on my contractions and they checked my cervix and I turned out to be 4 cm when I left my doctor on Tuesday I was 3 cm. And I stayed in the hospital for like three hours then they discharged me due to my cervix was staying the same.I came home relaxed and went to the restroom and I wiped and I had a light brown mucus discharge and im still getting contractions since I left.but I was told to expect spots of blood not a mucus like substance.so I'm wondering if its time to go to the hospital??

Sounds like your mucous plug. Totally normal. If your.contractions are consistently 5 minutes apart and last about 1 minute long then it's time to go in. Good luck and congrats!
