I'm currently 38 weeks and 2 days. At my last doctors appointment I was dilated 3 centimeters and they could feel her head. I also got my membranes stripped and it only made me lose my mucus plug over the next few days. I lost all of it but haven't had my bloody show yet and my plug had no traces of blood. Ive had a lot of Braxton Hicks that seem to last all day and Ive all of a sudden have been extremely exhausted even though I litteraly rest most of the time. Could this be a sign that labor is near? Also how long did it take for you guys to go into labor once you were 3 centimeters and almost completely effaced?
