Advice please

[dxmi]

Currently 38+2 and I can't eat pretty much anything without being sick, I've had some lower back pain and cramp however disappears when I go for a sleep
2 days ago it looked like I lost my mucus plug
Just wondering if this could be me getting ready for labour

Yes, definitely your body “tuning up”. But it still could be a week or so - or tomorrow! Good luck.

Yep! You are starting!!

This is a little off topic, I’m new to this website so I’m not sure where to write this, but I need some advice. I’m due my period on the 8th of every month it’s very regular, very heavy and usually lasts around 4-5 days. I had unprotected sex at the beginning of December and got my period as expected, but since then I’ve experienced a lot of pregnancy symptoms, cramps, back ache, nausea, fatigue and the constant feeling of being bloated, a few days before my period this month (January) I started spotting so I thought I’d come on early, but I stayed spotting for about 2 days, woke up one morning (sorry for tmi) but I bled SO heavy so I put a tampon in, took it out a few hours later and there was a small amount of brown blood and carried on spotting for another day? I’m hoping to be pregnant but I’m not sure and don’t want to take a pregnancy test because I don’t want to get my hopes up, any advice?

I've never really been through anything like that but you're probably worse off getting your hopes up on here rather than taking a pregnancy test as that's the only way you can really be sure
