TMI. What does it mean?

I am turning into one of those irrational super pregnant ladies that wants everything to be a sign of imminent labour.  This is also super TMI, so I apologize in advance.  Feel free to click out of this post!

My OB checked me yesterday and "stretched" my cervix.  She said I would have some spotting, which I did (very little). 

Immediately after the check, I lost what must have been the rest of my mucus plug, because it was a massive amount all at once, but no blood.

All day today I have been losing large amounts of brownish bloody mucus.. do think this is all just because of the check?  Or maybe a sign of more dilation?  Bloody show?

Obviously no one can tell me when I will go into labour, but I just wish it was more predictable or there were more concrete signs.  The anticipation is causing me to go a little crazy!  Anyone else feeling this way?

  • My doctor warned that that could happen after my check yesterday. It didn't but she did warn so I'm fairly sure it's pretty normal. Not sure what it has to do with labor though, sorry!

  • I'm not much help but I am in the same boat. Had a stretch and sweep yesterday and lost a bunch more mp last night and this morning... including brown mp this morning. No other signs so I'm not thinking it means anything imminent here.
  • No other unusual signs here, so I'm guessing it is just a normal side effect.  Sigh.  I am annoyed at my own inability to be at peace with the unpredictability.

  • I'm in the same boat! I lost my MP yesterday, and all morning I was contracting 2 minutes apart, and now I feel like I'm being tricked- every time I start timing a contraction, it stops. 

    And this is horrible, h
