FTM & people will always say I’ll know when I’m in labor & say contractions are like period cramps but I never really had cramps when I would get my period so I feel like I won’t exactly know. I woke up with really bad lower back pain, lots of pressure down low, and feeling cramps (I think) I’m 39 weeks and 2 days but I haven’t lost my mucous plug or my water never broke but could I still be showing signs of early labor?? Please help lol

UPDATE:

my cramps have gotten worse and I think I’m starting to lose some mucous plug. Should I be calling my doctor or wait to see how things are tomorrow?
