Is labour close?

I am 37+3. Over the past day or two I have noticed a pulling in my groin, walking isn't comfortable and I feel that the baby is lower.

I am due to be induced on the 28th but I am not keen. Could anyone who has had a baby advise me...does it sound like mine may come sooner rather than later?
Thanks in advance!

On its on a “Pulling in groin” sounds more like something muscular in terms of baby moving position rather than a sign labour.

Unfortunately it’s impossible to tell. I’m 38 weeks, baby is very low and I’m pretty uncomfortable, I’m having really strong Braxton Hicks but I know from experience (this is my third) that this is no indication that the baby will come early (both my existing DC were overdue).
Fingers crossed for you though!

Thanks for your replies. I am so keen not to be induced I am willing it to happen naturally.
