Mucus plug?

Ladies, please help! I'm 39 weeks 3 days and for 15 hours straight I've been having contractions every 8-10 minutes with very bad  back pain and pressure in my butt. I lost what I think was my mucus plug about an hour ago. It was about 6 inches long. I went to the doctor monday and was 3 cm.dilated, Should I go in to be checked again? With all the pain I'm having!

I say dont wait more than 1 week after your due date because doctors dont really know how old the placenta is and the placenta is what feeds your baby,im 39+4 and if i dont have my baby by thursday i will be getting induced in a week max,good luck to you

I did go in that night, I started having contractions every 2-5 minutes. But they wasn't making me dilate. So they sent me home unfortunately. But I am 40 weeks today. About to go to the Doctor now and decide what day they will be inducing me. Do you have any opinions on inducing??

I'd wait until the contractions are closer to 5 minutes apart- looks like this post is a few days old.  How are you doing now?  Did you end up going in?
