irregular contractions

Started having contraction at 9pm last night ranging between an hour and 9min.
Had my last Dr appointment this morning. I have brown discharge and am 1cm dilated. Not much but the Dr thinks ill have her around my due date August 5th.
Glad my parents fly in internationally tom so they can be there. Exciting time but contractions are poo!!

Good luck! Your sooo close! Ive had the soft bowel movements for several days now and ive been losing my plug but no blood or anything! Ive had minor cramps and a ton of pressure so im sure it wont be much longer till i start progressing! I know this is just superstition but everyone has told me a "full moon" has something to do with labor and next thursday aug 2nd is a full moon!! I hope everything goes great for you! Cant wait to hear about more august babies arriving! Maybe you will be next!

Because I have brown discharge the Dr said my contractions are doing the work needed to dilate. If u have the pain like really bad poo pains and you drink water and change position and it still hurts then its the start.
I'm sure it will get worse before she is born.
I have also done lots of soft bowl movement since it started. Think my body is getting ready.
I have a contraction counting app on my phone. The Dr said when they become regular and the pain is intense where I can not talk through them then go to L&D. She said I would know.
