Hi I am 34 wks and I just lost my plug two days ago. This morning I woke up and started having sharp pain in my stomich. I havent seen any blood or anything like that just alot of cramping. Walking makes it worse and lying down dosnt really help either. I have sleept some though for two hr then I would wake up with the pain. Its in my lower abdomanal and makes my back hurt.

Is the pain so bad as to wake you from sleep??


Is it sporatic or is it consistant??


Is it increasing in intensity?


If it gets <5 minutes apart and continues go to hospital, if you break waters go to hospital, if you become too weak to be coherent go to drs. Usually plug comes out in last 2 weeks.

Good luck hon

False Labor
Could be braxton hicks I have cramping off and on the past month and lost mucus but no baby yet and that started happening at 34 wks now im almost 39 wks. Just call ur docter if your concerned. But a lot of it is false labor for me.

No, bleeding in the final days of pregnancy--not a good sign, should go to dr asap if bleeding
