I'm posting this because with my first child I was induced so I did not experience any type of labor signs until I was induced so going naturally into labor is all new to me.

I'm 37 weeks 1 day, and last night I started having a bad gas like pain in my middle abdomen that would come with a BH and radiate to my back a little. I was able to burp, fart, and use the bathroom to relieve some gas but it didn't seem to help. The pain was consistent and came and went as it pleased, nothing constant. I slept for over 9 hours because I was so exhausted from it, and didn't have any while I was sleeping so I figured it was gas. I get up to start my day and play with my son and the pain is back just like it was last night. I don't want to make a trip to l&d because of how far it is to be sent home but I'm not really sure what's going on. Any help would be appreciated.
