Sounds like a plug. Doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen tonight, but certainly increases the likelihood. Some people loose bits of their plug over a few days or longer, some lose a bit and everything starts, and some don't lose any until labour,
I've been stalking BB all day for posts from you hoping something was happening!
I started losing my plug from about 33 weeks so i never got the big glob of goo LOL! But a very close friend of mine said she lost hers at 4am the day she was due and then at 11:30 while at an appt she was 7cms dilated and by 2:30pm her son was born.
Woohoo!! It's time we had some more births around here! It's been qiuet!
What you've described sounds like when I lost my plug! I was going to say to hold off on the excitement, it might last for a few days or weeks, mine did, but if you're getting contractions, then things could be moving along, I'm so excited for you hunny! I hope it all happens tonight or tomorros and you have your girl to snuggle soon!
My plug experience was pretty much like yours, but then I had a bath as I was experiencing some pretty owchie pre labour, when I got out of the bath there was all this jelly like, snotty stuff floating around...ewww.
Then after drying myself,I sat on the towel on the bed to put nickers on and when I stood up a large discish shaped bloody (brown,old blood) thing was on the towel.
that continued for a few days...then I was induced.
Ooh I'm excited to say I know what it looks like! LOL after weeks of waiting for labour and wondering if I would get a show, I finally saw it sitting on the bed on the labour ward shortly after I went in and had an internal - it was a blob of snotty white and red stuff. It looked like Clag glue.
