???Early stages of Labour????

Hi!

I am precisely 34/40 weeks pregnant with my first baby.

Over the past week I have been losing my mucas plug, I went to see my obstetrician who confirmed it certainly was the mucas plug however she said my cervix is closed at that moment in time. This was 6 days ago. I was reassured that mucas plugs can regenerate and that just because it is coming away doesn't 100% mean that labour is near (She said it's difficult to determine either way + that all there was to do is wait)

Early hours of yesterday morning I started getting slight period pains and back ache which did progress as the night went on leaving me to feel quite fidgety. This pain has continued however slightly slightly gotten stronger. It literally feels textbook of what I am used to when my period was starting prior to gestation.

I have been having increased discharge today and have also had small bits of plug come out however there not as large as they was last week which ?reassures me?

I am just generally uncomfortable however I don't want to cause panic unnecessarily.... I am trying baths and basic pain relief.... I am not oblivious to the potential of it being Braxton hicks but I'm also not unaware of potential early labour....

Any advice????
