ok, im due today and the pass coulpe of days i have been having this mucusy discharge with a little bit of pink in it. i had it for the pass three mornings,includung this morning. the first morning i had alot. my mom says its my mucus plug. i know when you lose it, it can be like days or weeks before labor even starts. i woke up this morning and my back is killing me (may have been the way i slept). my 2 1/2 yr old son keeps telling his brother that he needs to come out. im going to do some walking later on today, maybe that will help. i know if i go pass two weeks, they will induce, but i dont wanna be induced, i heard it is more painful than going naturally. help me please. and please no smart answers. i know when he comes i will be more tired, and wont get much sleep. but please someone help me. i go to the DR this friday, and i really wanna have this baby before then.

Call your Dr now and let them know. they will probably ask you to come in and check you out this would be the best thing you could do.
Good Luck.

Sounds like the mucus plug baby number 2 should come along soon. If you are having back pain this could be early labor I would walk and have some raspberry tea. Then if you have someone near you get a good pregnacy massage and let them know you want to go into labor they can work presure pionts. Make sure you drink plenty of water and don't forget to try sex it can help ripen the cervix & cause contractions & it may be your last time for a while. Enjoy and Good Luck.

Yes, sounds like the mucous plug. On the bright side, I hear most women go within a few days of losing it. I hear you... I am super anxious to get things going too. With my first one I had sex and BOOM half an hour later I was in labor. This one is taking his time. So far I've at least gotten myself dialated to a two by sex, nipple stimulation (you have to do it to mimic a breast feeding baby) and walking as soon as those two things get the contractions started. I have also heard to take blue and black cohosh. (They are at most drugstores). Blue is supposed to start them and black is supposed to keep them regular. DO NOT try castor oil, you'll just be more miserable because you'll be pregnant, crampy, and on the potty all day! Also, your back pain could be the baby turning into the right position, always a good sign that things are going to start soon! Good luck! Hope it works for you better than it has been for me!

Go for a nice brisk walk - that may help. Sometimes having sex helps start labor but nothing worked for me. LOL I know it's tough - my daughter is due Jan 9 and she's at her wits end too - but hang in there. Good luck!
