I will be 40 weeks tomorrow 9/29. On Monday the doctor tried to strip my membranes and get the contractions started. So far I have had small ones but nothing enough to continue and get me in labor. I'm also spotting brown but that is because of the stripping of membranes. It has gotten worse since Monday because not only am I spotting I'm also discharging a lot more. The doctor told me ahead of time I would spot and that it is normal. This is my second. If I were you I would just call the doc and explain. Won't hurt to ask and could save you a headache and worrying.
