As of my appt last week I was 3cm dilated, I have been having menstrual like cramping all day with low back pain, contractions here and there (nothing consistent) and lost my plug today...also a little nauseous...just not feeling myself, could this be the start of labor?
My last baby my contractions were coming and then tapering off for a while until they broke my water, and then she was born within 3 hours. I want to be able to have an epidural with this one, but not sure if I will make it in time if I wait too long...should I go in, the on call doc said it was up to me...

Nothing yet, also with my weekly OB appts they are having me do an NST (non-stress test) and last week while doing mine, I had a couple of contractions and didn't really notice them, so that's another reason I wonder if it could be early labor and not know...I never experienced the natural onset of labor, my waters were broke artificially or I was induced which brought labor on pretty quickly...
