  I'm a bit similar. Not due for another 12 days, but my body is definitely preparing. 2cm dilated, 50% effaced. Lost my mucus plug/had bloody show yesterday. And for the past 2-4 days I've had a lot of pressure and some fairly regular cramps. I even tried to time them (about 10 mins apart), but they really aren't bad. Just sort of like period cramps, and I can sleep through them. Now I'm wondering how long this phase is going to last until real labor kicks in. It's very frustrating!

  my mucus plug came out a week ago last Sunday and I am not dilated for some odd reason (so my midwife tells me). I'm due in 4 days on the 21st and I'm very nervous. I know what you're going through; this is my first pregnancy too and I'm very nervous. feels like my boy wants to take his precious time in there and not make an appearance on the 21st!

  Thanks guys... It's just really frustrating not knowing what to expect. I have too seen blood here and there. The first time I saw some blood it was just kind brownish and that was on 5/15/15, today it's more red (sorry I know this is gross), however still no pain I can't endure. I'm just waiting and waiting for my son to finally say mommy I'm ready
