38 weeks FTM

Caitlin

I'm 38+1 and have been having a lot of pelvic pressure. the Dr checked me at 36 weeks and I was 70% effaced and 1cm dilated. I haven't really been having cramping pain but my stomach does tighten pretty often throughout the day. especially so when I got for my walk. could labor be getting close? I feel like since I'm not having cramping that nothing is progressing...
