39+2 symptoms

I have been having a lot of "symptoms" but no real labor.

In the past 3 days:

-This was my 3rd night with regular and painful contractions (6min apart) that faded after about 5-7 hours.

-Loose bowels

-Hemmorrhoids

-Tons of pelvic pressure and pain

-Lower back pain

A few weeks ago the baby dropped and I recently lost my mucus plug.

I'm also coming down with a cold but I don't think that's related.

I just hope that all of this means that he is coming in the next few days. I don't want to go way over like my mother did. She had to be induced at 42 weeks with all 4 of her kids.
