Hi everyone. I've been getting BH the past couple of months, but they have become a lot more regular and stronger the last month or so, ie. I get them many times during the day and night.

I woke this morning around 3am and was getting them every 8 minutes or so - not painful, but they make me feel breathless and like my head is going to explode. I finally went back to sleep at around 6am.

As I've been getting them quite frequently, I normally wouldn't be concerned except that I had a brown mucusy 'show' yesterday morning after going for a walk. I don't think it was a mucus plug, more like the end of my monthlies. Am also feeling bored with everything, and am emotional (had a cry just now) & just want labour to start. I am 39wks & 2 days & due this Friday. Is this pre-labour? Any thoughts?
