Question
When I had a routine antenatal checkup, it was 37 weeks, how many days, the doctor diagnosed the beginning of my uterus with signs of dilation and uterine contractions, so I was hospitalized. After 4 days, the doctor examined the uterus and said that 1 thick stool was still open. I have a pink mucus plug, or a dull stomach ache, then it's over. The doctor told me that I had signs of false labor, not yet detected real labor. When I came home, every night my stomach hurt, I urinated a lot and my uterus hurt a lot, I couldn't walk. Doctor let me ask, is the uterus dilated 1 stool, mucus plugs, dull abdominal pain is a sign of labor?
