For the past week in a half I have lost my mucus plug had horrible back pains and 3 days ago I started having the oddest contractions. They felt like menstral cramps but would last about 10 - 15 seconds stop for 2 seconds then continue for another 10-15 seconds and continue doing that 5 or 6 times. That went on friday and saterday. Yesterday (sunday) was my due date and there was nothing. Not the first cramp, the baby barley moved, the only thing I felt was him push really hard on my cervix a couple of times and an upset stomach like I was going to throw up all day. Someone told me that its a sign that hes coming soon. This morning I have felt abit sickly again but the baby has moved ALOT like hes pushing down. Is it true that things calm down befor the big event?
