spotting?

hey mamas-i’m 39w4d today. i felt super tired and nauseous yesterday, which was kind of odd but i didn’t think anything of it. i went to bed and was woken up about an hour later with period like pains that came and went. i was timing them and they were about every 5 minutes but only lasting about 30 seconds. i have a ton of pressure in my butt (feels like i need to poop). every time i go i don’t poop but when i wipe there’s spotting on the toilet paper. definitely not a lot, but i haven’t bled my ENTIRE pregnancy. it’s not mucusy at all. help. is the spotting something to be concerned about? or is all this just really early labor? or nothing? 🤞🏻
