well i hope that my waters havnt brokn and i didnt realise, i did go to the toilet quite a bit through out the night and it was quite alot i was peeing, but i was really tired (well half asleep still) and didnt think much of it
and i just had another big blog come out , but still no blood
i went to check because i have been getting period pain/cramps for the last 10 minutes or so
mmm maybe you are close. have you been having BH? do you know what they feel like?
Does the pain come from the back to front?
Time the pains (length of and time between) and if they get longer with shorter intervals and increase in pain as the days goes on then give your mw a call!
I had lots of mucous too at the end of my pg and I was wearing pads because it was sooo gross and wet. My 'show' came in the form of a big blood stained blob followed by some bleeding. Labour started within a couple of hours after that. Id say your body is getting ready and things are moving and shaking to help make way for your little bundle.
But do keep in regular contact with your MW and do time the pains like PinkPalace has recommended. Write it down too, as you may forget when the MW asks particluar questions on the phone.
I was told to "come in" to the hossy until my contractions were about 5 or 4 mins apart. It was my first labour too, and it made me nervous being at home, but it was better being in my own environment. Now looking back, I should have stayed home a bit longer!
just like cramping pains and a my stomach has been feeling tense all day.. that and the cramps arnt that bad its just when some stuff is coming out that it gets a bit worse...
bellybelly has an article about the "show" as do many other websites and it can be clear (or pink, brown, blood-stained). i lost some of my mucous plug over a few days and its all been clear so far. mind you that was last week and its my due date today and nothings happened yet!! fingers crossed not much longer...
