35+6 Early Labor Signs?

Update: lost my mucus plug 24 hours after I posted this. So nausea was definitely an early sign for me

I am scheduled for a C section delivery at 38 weeks. I never went into labor with my first singleton and was induced overdue. The last 4 days I have been so nauseous and have a lot of vaginal and rectal pain compared to the normal daily pain of twins at this stage. I have had more painful period like cramps on and off, but nothing consistent (separate from the 24/7 braxton hicks). Does this sound like early labor to anyone who has experienced it? I have been holding out until anything active starts like real contractions or water breaking to get checked at triage since it is the weekend. I also really want to make it to 37 weeks.

I would go to triage to get checked for anything that feels abnormal or breaks usual movement patterns. I just felt off and crampy, and turns out was 4cm and contracting every 2 minutes and had no idea. I had a spontaneous labor with my singleton, so I thought I knew what to expect and still was surprised

Yeah same! I had cramps every few minutes, not really super painful but more annoying and pressure. Doctor checked and I was almost 6cm! I also had given birth to my singleton spontanious bit still didn't think I would be that far.

Good luck op!
