A member asked:

I got a membrane sweep two days ago, i have been feeling crampy. i took a walk today had period type pain and lost my mucus plug, could i be in labor?

Sounds like it: It's very possible you are experiencing signs and symptoms of early labor. Time your contractions and if they are getting more frequent, you should get checked out by your doctor.
