Okay...I’m barely 21, first time mom, 36 weeks pregnant...I have no idea what’s happening!

I mentioned a couple days ago how my OB wanted me to try and break my own water/induce labor at home this week (before the 13th)...

Well I read online that eating pineapple, walking, exercise, and spicy foods are more “natural ways.” Well I ended up eating a whole pineapple in 24 hours (it was sweet and I couldn’t stop 😂)

Last night and today I have had SHARP pains very low and I know the baby is already in position, has been for weeks. As I’ve never gone through this, I have no idea what’s going on...I don’t know if these pains are contractions or not as they come and go within a matter of seconds, but then die off for a couple minutes, and then come back.

Every female in my family has had planned c sections or inductions in which they’ve never made it this far in pregnancy so they don’t know how to help...can anyone give me some guidance? I’m like freaking out 😭
