I was reading that labor starts by having back pains then merge to cramping. :) goodluck

Have a hot bath its actually better if you go labor on your own its better than induced labor

When your doctor sweeps her finger around the cervix its a way to induce labor (if it works) ehen your overdue haha i had to look it up because i honestly didnt know what it was and she just suprised me by doing it today!
