is he coming soon?

With my first I had a bit of an achy back for a couple weeks then just woke up one morning, had diarrhea, lost my plug & had my daughter. I'm 38 weeks tomorrow with our second. The back pain started a couple days ago, the diarrhea (sorry tmi) started yesterday but the last time I lost plug was a small piece at 30 weeks. I'm having constant Braxton Hicks & random real contractions. It feels like he is trying to escape with the vaginal pain & pressure in my bottom. Please someone tell me they're going through similar? I see doc & hospital next week Tuesday if they tell me I haven't even dilated i'll probably cry! I had a little bit of pre labour & then a 4 hour labour with my first. Running round after a toddler the last couple days is agony!!

Im due the 11th of March and my son dropped like a few weeks ago lost my mucus plus, had the diarrhea (TMI,sorry) and have had contractions but not serious ones. Idk if my labor will ever come at this point. And when I lay down I also have problem breathing its just from how he is laying.

Due march 2 and been having the back pain and the contractions but nothing else. Went to labor and delivery a couple weeks ago for contractions being 5 minutes apart for 3 hours and they said I hadn't dilated or anything. Just gave me shots and sent me home. Only have 9 days left now but I'm so miserable... thinking if I hadn't gone to the hospital when I did maybe he would've already been here by now

Im due March 10th. I've had the same thing. I lost a lot of my mucus Plug two days ago and it had some pink/red in it. My doctor said it could of been from intercourse. I've never had that happen before. I thought it was called "bloody show" hut I don't know this is my first pregnancy. I think she is dropping because I've had more lower pressure. For the past few hours I've been trying to sleep but I'm having trouble breathing. Is this normal? My doctor hasn't told me if I'm dilated at all. I go back Monday..I hope he induces me before my due date.

I'm glad there's other mummies that are the same! Silly of me I just assumed it would happen the same this time, I'd just wake up one day & be in labour but this is start earlier & so much harder to cope with an almost 2 year old haha. Good luck ladies!
