im 39 weeks, and when i go to wipe i have this brown mucousy stuff that shows up on the toilet paper. i went again a few minutes later to check if it was still there (and because i suprisingly had to pee...AGAIN) and it was, but more. i have been having a lot of back pain and cramping since about 4:30. its not very regular. it seemed to come every 3 or 4 minutes for a while, but i think my mind was just playing tricks on me because it stopped. i had a pedicure today and i was using the massaging chair. i know massages can induce labor. i felt alot of cramping after a few minutes of it massaging my lower back. what does all this mean? anybody else ever experience this?
also, i did go to the OBGYN today, but that was at 2, and i doubt im bleeding from that, considering it didnt show up until tonight at about 10:30.

Sounds like you are losing your mucous plug which means the baby is coming soon! If there's blood in the mucous it's called "bloody show". You're not in labor until your having regular contractions but the mucous is a good sign that it's coming soon.
You are probably starting to lose your mucus plug. Don't worry it happens to everyone and it means that you are one step closer to meeting your LO! As for the back pain, time it, contractions feel like pressure. And once they become about 5-6 minutes apart it;s time to go to the hospital!
Ooooh! It might be braxton Hicks contractions. You know... the false labor...
The baby might come within a week! Take plenty of vids n pix! CONGRATS!
