Call your midwife / mat assessment unit for advice. Haven't you already been given the drill for what to do when you may be in early labour? Don't rely on medical diagnoses from random folk from the internet!

Absolutely call your midwife, they would rather check you out than you drive yourself frantic with worry. You are quite late in your pregnancy, have you had any other early signs of labour, such as thick heavy mucus in your underwear (show). It might be labour and this could be the day you meet your baby! Please call your midwife or day assessment unit immediately, take your maternity notes and your hospital bag with you just in case, and don't go on your own.

Keep me posted.... thinking of you xxx
