Is Pressured Feeling, Piercing Pain Around Stomach With Losing Mucous Plug Without Broken Water Normal In 37 Weeks?
I am 37 weeks pregnant last week at 36 weeks my ob said I was measuring 39 weeks. For the past two weeks I have been losing what I believe is my mucous plug little by little. I have had many Braxton hicks and true contraction. I feel a lot of pressure and stretching really down low. Recently I have been noticing sharp needle like piercing sensation around my abdomin. I was told as log as my water doesn t break or I don t have right red blood that there is nothing to worry about. I guess I m looking for a second opinion

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes. The pains that you are having is mild labor pains. The loosening of mucus plug is normal due to cervical softening. You need not worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
