Mild Cramping with no Bloody Show or Mucus

[forest~mama]

Hey ladies~
Ok, I have officially begun to feel aprehensive about when this thing might happen. Baby has dropped a lot in the past four days or so. My entire pelvis and tailbone are so painful, I can barely walk. I was getting up every two hours at night to pee, but now I have been sleeping through, and only getting up twice. I just got a cleaning urge, but after about 15min. my legs were cramping so bad I couldn't stand any longer. I had two days of regular bh, but haven't had very many since then. Today I have had some mild cramping and a few bigger bh, but no bloody show/mucus/amniotic fluid. Does it soud like things are changing? I mean do you change this much in a three-four day period, then go on for another two weeks?

I would say that things are definatly changing, and moving in the right direction. Which is a very positive thing! But how long after such changes the real deal begins who knows. Even if you had lost your mucus plug, that just says sometime in the next week or so. Hopefully you start sooner rather than later though! Hang in there! All this work now is helping and doing some very important things, keep that in mind.

Thanks mamas~
I think I may have just lost some or all of my mucus plug. I put in a email to my midwife to see if my decription sounds like it. I don't know when it's going to happen, but at least I feel like something is progressing now!

How are you doing now? My first three births, I always lost the mucus plug and then went into labor. This time around I was in labor for about 12 hours before I started losing the mucus plug. So, things definately could be starting for you !! I sure hope so!

I have had period like cramps since yesterday morning. They lasted all night. I still have not been having many contractions, and no more mucus-like stuff. My legs have been the worst. I can't hardly stand for more than a few minutes before they totally cramp up! I don't know how long this process will take, but something is definitely changing!
