I had a bad night on the 5th with them and next morning I lost lots of chunks of my plug. Still no baby with 2 days to go but I'm hoping it's a good sign I won't go over due date :)

I was told by my ob that its just because the closer yu get the more baby is getting into position so thats why we get more pains but not contractions.

I notice then alot if I don't drink alot of water. Be sure to definitely keep an eye on them though. I just asked my ob about them last week when I went for a routine appt. The response was keep a close eye on them, if there happening five minutes apart and consistent for an hour go in. Hope that helps.
