Woke up still preg

Victoria

I had my 38 week appointment today and for the past few weeks I been getting these unbearable contractions like it would knock the absolute wind out me & make me sick .. also passed my mucous plug but today I go in for my cervix check and I’m only 1cm ... I don’t get why I’m hurting so bad but with my other baby I got to 4cm without even knowing because I felt 0 pain
