False alarms?

Ka

I thought I was having contractions this morning, but after some pacing I sat down and fell asleep on the couch. 😭 I called into work because I'm a teacher and I'm terrified of going into labor during class. I've got intense pelvic pressure and a pain in my left side that goes to my back. My poor hands and feet are sooooo swollen! I've felt like my heart has raced a few times and my heart rate is over 100. My doctor's office never answers and doesn't call back for hours, should I go in to L&D? I dont know what to do. 😭😭 (I'll be 40 weeks tomorrow btw.)
