Update: The same time I started to feel this pain I was also having really bad back pain and my belly was getting so tight and I could see her moving and she would stretch so far out and get really stiff in one spot. I started to time my contractions and they were lasting about 45-55 seconds and they were about 4 mins apart. I called the midwife and she told me to try to take a hot shower and see if it was still happening. I called about 2:50 and it has calmed down some but still slight pain and very bad back pain. Also right before I got in the shower I felt like I had to use the bathroom and I randomly had diarrhea? Which I haven’t had my whole pregnancy and just about and hour before that I went to use the bathroom and it was a regular solid poop so I don’t know if that meant anything either? But I will try and get some rest and see if it gets any worse before I decide to go in because it’s bearable pain right now.

So I am 39 + 5 today and I have not lost my mucus plug or had any signs of labor until about 2 almost 3 hours ago I started getting this excruciating pain in my vagina!! I can’t stand it, it hurts so bad to the point where I could cry and I’m a ftm so I don’t really know what a contraction feels like.. I don’t know if I should go to the hospital or not cause I got checked on Wednesday at 39 + 3 and I was only a fingertip dilated! I don’t know if it’s cause I was sitting for too long? We were playing some board games and I was sitting in a chair and just randomly started to get this excruciating pain in my vagina area.. I really don’t know what to do and I feel like if I call my midwife they will tell me to take some Tylenol or something but ugh it’s so painful 😭😭
