Is Labor Starting for Me??

I'm 38 weeks+ 5 days (FTM). I've been cramping all week and baby has dropped. I lost my mucus plug last Saturday (it's been 5 days so far). This morning I woke up from bad cramping and diarrhea (sorry TMI). It's been 2 hours, and now I'm feeling nausea kick in out of nowhere. I tried eating, but can barley keep it down! I've only had 1 bad contraction since I woke up, and it lasted for a minute.

Does it sound like I'm going into labor today?

Did you go into labor? If so, how long after the symptoms?
I woke up with cramping/diarrhea at 12. Started mild contractions an hour later. Took a shower about 8 and got hit with nausea could barely stand. Went in at 1230 and had her at 5. So it took a few hours to really get going

Call the hospital and ask to be sure. But I would say yes, you could be having baby at some point today!

I went in my OBGYN for a checkup and told her everything that happened, she said it can happen tonight or in 2 weeks. I have a feeling it's happening soon though. I hope tonight!!
