early labour?

Basically was looking for other moms experiences with early labour and what it was like for them.
At 26 weeks it was discovered I had a shortened cervix at around 2.6cm which they rechecked at 30 weeks and had remained the same, they were happy and sent me on my way.
Yesterday morning ( 32 weeks along) I lost my mucous plug, have been cramping more again but nothing rhymic. They checked my cervix which is 1cm dilated and he said cervix felt still around 2cm mark (50%)
They gave me shots to develop babies lungs.
Still, they say people walk around like this for weeks but you shouldn't be dilated at all at 32 weeks
Just wondering what others have experienced here, thanks!

Re: early labour?
Good luck!
I hope that you will take it easy, put your feet up, and listen to your body!
Mama to Three Girls:
Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor
and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
I started having contractions around 26 wks. Was given nifedipine to take religiously. I was put on bedrest at the time and went on disability. I see the doc weekly and NTS twice a week. At 32 wks I was 1cm dilated and 80% effaced. I was also given the steroid shots just in case. Baby has dropped but I haven't seen anything resembling a mucus plug. I will be 34 wks tomorrow. Still dealing with contractions and getting major lightning crotch. All my ffn tests have come back negative. Fingers crossed he stays put till 36/37 wks at least.
Been married since 2009.
Unicornuate Uterus (yes I menstruate glitter)
Several MCs
DD born 2013 (our miracle "you can't have babies" baby!)
With my first I had a huge increase in discharge in 3rd tri, but I never noticed losing my plug.
