Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
You are already full term.. can be delivered any day.
The sumptoms you describe are suggestive of an ealy labor pains...preparing for delivery.
* Labor pains that come periodically with pain free intervals. Frequeency of labor pains increases &interval between two pains go on decreasing.
It is associated with excessive vaginal discharge &some times tinge of blood.
*stoppage of labor pains after being settled to every 10 minutes pattern ... is unusal .Though fetal movements are good... &you need not worry...I feel this is the time for internal assessment by treating gynecologist &usg scan for pelvic measurement &amniotic fluid assessment. This would help to decide about need of an intervention.
Thanks.
