Contractions 😫

Last night before bed I started to have what I assumed was a stomach ache. It hurt so bad & felt like I had to poop (TMI) so I did but it literally was almost nothing. After that I started having cramps and back pains all throughout the night. I was drinking water all night so I wasn't dehydrated at all. I decided to just go to sleep because if it was the real thing I wanted to be well rested. I woke up around 3am and they were so bad I was about to wake my SO up to go to the hospital. Cramps, lower back ache, pressure. It took me 2-3 hours to go back to sleep through that pain & discomfort. I chugged a bottle of water and went to sleep. Woke up today with minor aches here & there & mucousy discharge. I hope labor is coming soon I'm gonna take a long walk today to try to keep my body going 🤞🏼. I'm 37 weeks & never experienced anything like this with my first daughter the only time I felt like I was in labor I really was so hopefully it's the same this time around.
