Due 2.29.16.... Are these signs labor is coming sooner rather than later?

Question

I am 39 weeks tomorrow
Last Thursday I was 50% effaced, and ALMOST 2CM at my check up.
My dr stripped my membrane which I didn't know until afterwards...
I've been having period like cramps more and more.
The last two days I've had really bad gas and "loose bowels" as they say...
And my hips ache from the inside out like I just worked my butt out for the first Time in forever the hardest I could...
I realize being 39 weeks means labored OBVIOUSLY coming but are all of these a sign it's sooner than later?

Answer

Same exact situation as me. I'm 39 weeks 5 days. I just started losing what I believe is mucus plug. Hopefully baby comes before dad goes back to work tomorrow

Answer

Could be!! There's no way to really know until you actually do or don't go into labor.

Answer

I have the same due date and I want to be induced soo bad

Answer

It was! Labor certainly came! Water broke 2/23 at 1030 after a mani pedi massage chair and Olive Garden. Bby born 2/24/16 @ 3:17

Answer

It all means nothing until the contractions come and don't stop. Unfortunately. I had so many signs of labor my midwife told me she would be here before the 37th week.. And here I am 39.5. I'm not even calling the midwife again until the contractions are every 2 min apart for over 2 hours because even the 5-1-1 rule isn't applying to me, it not progressing into full blown labor. Don't obsess over "does this mean labor is coming soon", just relax and enjoy your naps and free time. My doula even said she thinks my lack of relaxing/obsessing over labor coming is why the contractions stop after 7-8 hours ever time.

Answer
