am i in early labour?

umm the pain isnt in my hips its in my upper and lower back. Also i have other things like i pretty much lost my apetite and when i am hungry, I'll put the food in my mouth but i wont want to swallow it cus it makes me feel sick like im full and im forcing myself to eat.also after i eat my stomach gets really upset and it starts cramping then i go #2 and my stool is really soft but also every day almost all morning my stomach is upset and i have pains in my lower tummy and i go #2 quite a bit and thats been like that for over a week now
Also i have bad heartburn that increases at night and it seems like no matter what i do like drinking lots of liquid or laying on my side and resting or whatever else, it just wont go away and i hate it cus it burns in my throat and my chest really bad and its sooo anoying.

I am 37 weeks and 6 days so i will be 38 weeks on sunday. Also i have these weird pains i get when im either walking, laying on my back, or when im sitting up. There weird i get them in my vagina kinda and it's like a sharp pain almost like its stretching but pushing towards the opening of my vagina sorry its very hard to explain it but yea and when i get if im walking it almost makes me wanna fall to the ground and when i get them i can feel my baby move sometimes in my lower tummy but right by my pelvis like under my pubic area. Its very hard to explain it but i tried my best. So yea its very painful though when i get them.Also when i get them sometimes it feels like my baby is just gonna fall out and when i stand up while having a pain then it feels like pee or liquid is gonna just gush out but it never does.

I would contact your doctor, you could be going into labor with the back pain. I had this and was going into preterm labor and didn't know thats what it was. I was glad I called him because when I arrived at L & D. I was in to active labor (with light contractions). GL.... how far along are u?

Your symptoms sounds very much like regular pregnancy symptoms but could also signify a stomach upset or even an infection too (nausea, diarrhea w/ cramping) .  You should call your doctor since this has been going on for a week to make sure you arent get dehydrated and/or need medical treatment such as antibiotics.

If you get at least 4 contractions an hour then you could be going into pre-term labor.  Is the pain you are getting sporadic, coming in regular patterns, or just a constant thing?  Does it get better or worse with movement?
