Let Down Reflex and Contractions?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Depending on who you ask, I'm either 40w5d or 39w2d. My midwife pushed it back 10 days (long story). Anyways, I lost a bit of my mucous plug today and have been having quite frequent BH contractions all day and some on and off cramping that's not too noticeable but still present.

I've also been having a weird sensation and I thought I would post and ask about it. I would feel these cramps start coming on and very shortly afterwards, will feel a tingling in my breasts and the let down reflex like I was nursing.

It's been happening all day but I'm now starting to notice a direct correlation to it. I'll feel the slight cramp start, then the tingling, then the let down reflex. Has anyone else experienced this?

ETA: I'm not saying that these are contractions - I'm actually trying to figure out if that's what they are myself but I just didn't really know how else to describe them or what to call them. I've never gone into labor on my own so this is all pretty new to me.

It sounds like everything is just getting ready! Good luck, and I hope you have a good (and soon, it sounds like you are ready!) birth-day!
