    Hi! It all sounds quite normal to me. I'm 38+4 and have had similar pains for the past week. You may possibly be going into labour. The stringy stuff could be your mucus plug starting to come away, or it could just be discharge (I've had a lot of it recently!). I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on your pain and if it gets any stronger, then call the MW. She probably won't do much any way, but if you are concerned, contact her straight away - there's nothing worse than worrying all night! Love Rachel XXX

    Hi Bev6, I am 39+2 today and I had exactly the same pains as you yesterday and still have back ache today. I've walked my little boy to school and since coming home I've been having alot of tightening and dull pains.
    I am praying that this is the start as I was 2 weeks late with my little boy and I had to be induced which I really want to avoid this time if I can! Good luck and keep us posted!xxx
