39 weeks & not sure if it's signs of labour

first time mummy here, need some advice pls :) currently at my 39 wk 2 days. yesterday mucus plug went out, very thick brown discharge. had irregular contractions throughout the night & today. pelvic area starts to feel painful today. no other signs of labour thus far. have a weekly appointment on Monday at KKH. is it a sign to head down to hospital or should I just keep waiting till my appointment? 😐

I think you should contact your gynae immediately to seek for advice. he/she should have given you their personal number at this point. if you already see brown discharge, it could either be oxidized blood or a sign that your baby is already defecating in your womb. if it's the latter, it can be life-threatening for the baby as it can inhale its own excrement in the womb and result in lung infection. hurry down to the hospital and at least get checked on your condition and cervical dilation (if any).
