Hi Dr.Q,
I'm 31w5d pregnant. The past 2 mornings I have woken up to a pulling and stretching feeling very low in my uterus area. Almost like I pulled a muscle. When I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom there was a clump of brown mucus. What could this be? I am praying not my mucus plus because it's way too soon for that! I have a doctors appointment this morning at 9:25... thank god! What do you think? Is this dangerous to my baby? Also I had an ultrasound done last week and the tech said his head is down very low so could that be causing the pressure and stretching/pulling sensation? Thanks so much for your help!

I am glad you have an appointment today- if it is your mucus plug- for some it takes weeks to come out- and if the baby is low certaintly can be putting pressure on the cervix. Please post when you get back from the docs :)
