Hey, I am 37 weeks as of saturday.

Its funny how every week you experience something different. Well this week I think I have lost my mucus plug within a couple of days. Not a total shot. Then this morning I woke to see brown discharge coming out. I called the ob and she told me to just watch for blood and or contractions.

Now my question is to you experienced ladies. Has snyone gone through this that can tell me how long after they went into active labor. Or something remotely close to my situation
