1st Time mom needs help!!!!

So I have been posting the past few days about today being my due date!

Anyway, I'm a little concerned but don't want to call the doctor again. I feel like I am a PIA

Yesterday I woke up w some bleeding and lost some of my mucus plug. My OB sent me to the hospital to be monitored. I was only 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. I barely had any contractions. So they had sent me home.

I stopped bleeding last night but when I woke up this morning I started bleeding again, and now have some minor cramping

Is this normal? Has anyone else felt like this? dr google said this can be the start of labor but I still do not have contractions

Re: 1st Time mom needs help!!!!

Minor cramping can just be the beginning of those awesome contractions lol. If your bleeding id definately call the dr. Trust me your not being a pain!! Hopefully this is it for you.

Cramping can be the start of labor. I was told some bleeding can be normal and had a lot of discharge with a small amount of blood for about a week before I went into labor. If you are using more than one pad every four hours then I would call your OB- is the bleeding the same as yesterday?
If you are concerned give your doctor a call.

Sounds like it could be the start of labor. I had bleeding/lost my mucus plug and had dd 2 days later
Good luck
