Anyone awake to speculate wildly with me about whether I'm in labour?

This is baby #2 - my first (now 4) came early and labour / delivery was unusual so don't really feel I have a 'normal' frame of reference.

I'm 38 weeks. Had sex at 10pm-ish for the first time in a long time. Now I'm getting tummy pains and tightenings every so often - though very mild - and wind, nausea, lots of pooing...

Basically I know the answer is "this might be labour, wait and see" but as per thread title I'd like some speculation buddies who are willing to confidently express their unqualified opinions, please. DH is snoring happily beside me but I can't sleep.

Anyone else getting flashbacks to Rachel in Friends? "If one more woman has their baby before me, I'm going to sue you. Not this hospital, you. Personally"

Go on OP!

Right, I've got the afternoon off, so if you could just deliver by 7pm please, so I don't miss anything?
