I'm 38 weeks along with my second child. At my last doctor's appointment, I was 2 cm. dilated and 50% effaced. since then, I've started losing my mucus plug. About 5 hours ago I woke up in a lot of pain and about 2 hours later, contractions started they would be about 5 minutes apart. Then they just stopped about 45 minutes ago, for about 15 minutes and now they have started again and are 4-5 minutes apart and last about 60 seconds and seem to be getting stronger each time. Is this the real deal? I've been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions the last 2 weeks that have fooled me, b ut these feel a lot worse than any of the others have. I tried a warm bath and they still came, and usually when I lay down, they go away, but they're not this time.
