    light spotting in 36th week

    hello girls,

    Iam feeling a bit of pressure down there and today saw some very light spotting,my heart skipped the beat I don't know what labour feels like because
    I had couple of elective c section before.My third c section is already scheduled and still there are few weeks to go in that.

    I called hospital and they said put a pad and monitor if your water breaks or there is more spotting. i was told to rest n keep hydrating my self.so far no spotting
    but i could feel mild cramping and pressure is increasing.so whats that? am i in labour?


    i cant rest have lots to do , my toddler keeping me up all day, spills , mess, cooking n cleaning.

    I guess it could be the very start.....keep an eye on the regularity of the cramping. If its coming at regular intervals it could be the real thing.....

    Could be prelabour, which can go on for weeks. Just rest as much as possible and keep an eye on the pad. Any changes call the hospital.
