Hi, I am currently 33weeks pregnant and about 4ish weeks ago i went into hospital with minor contractions, they managed to stop it but also confirmed that his head is 'engaged'..... afew days ago my mucus plug dropped and now i have constant braxton hicks (sometimes quute severe) and brown discharge. This is my first pregnancy so I am very clueless with what is normal. Does all these signs mean bubs going to come soon? or earlier then his due date? help

I wish I could help, but this is my first too so I haven't a clue. I hope everything turns out ok though. x
Go to the hospital to get checked out cause brownish discharge could be babys meconium (poo) and hospital is the safest place to be!!
Ring the delivery ward at the hospital and explain whats happening, they will probably want you to come in for a check up, if baby is coming early you may need a steriod injection to help the lungs develop and hte hospital is the safest place to be. Good luck xx
