Pregnant With Constant Pain In The Ribs, Back And Pelvis. Losing Bloody Mucus Plug. Am I In Labor?
I m having constant pain that starts off mild and builds up then dies back down. The pains are in my lower back, ribs, right side, and pelvis . Nothing I have done relieves the pain, it s been like this for most of the day now. Also two days ago I had two dime sized pieces of bloody mucus come out, although I have been slowly losing my mucus plug for about 3 weeks now. I am 38 weeks pregnant on Thursday, am I in labour?

Yes with the symptoms and signs you describe you seem to be in labor ,with the pain on and off and bloody mucus with 38 weeks pregnancy i would advice you to meet your doctor soon and get examined top confirm whether you are in labor or not.
