Tonight I noticed that my "downstairs area" felt really soft and swollen, I got DP to feel it too and he said it felt "squidgy". It's the whole area front to back up and inside as far as I can reach. It feels kind of wierd and desensitised and like it's under pressure, (possibly from being swollen?) as well as that I feel like I need to pee but I don't.
Bub's has been moving around a fair bit and I haven't had any extra discharge, however I have notice some stringy mucous, like what is described about the mucous plug, over the last few weeks (a very small amount at a time like a cm or two in length - the doc said it regenerates??) but without any brown or red tinge to it. I haven't had any spotting or pains, but I am worried it could be a sign that labour is about to start soon (probably stupid but I'm paranoid about this stuff) and being that I'm only 21 weeks pg that'd be bad.

Sorry this is kind of all over the place I had a better one written up but BB ate it when I tried to post. GRR.

Please help, I'm a bit scared.
