Is Labor coming soon?

I'm 37weeks an went into Hospital a week ago, I was having constant contractions that were extremely close together but only 2cm Dilated. This whole week I've still had contractions an lost my mucus plug (well most of it I think.) I'm pooping quite a few times a day not large amounts (TMI) but still, also feel like I'm going to throw up at time, (I haven't yet) I really want her to make her appearance soon!!!
So has anybody experienced this an went into labor shortly after? Anything I can do to speed up the process? Besides sex & walking I am doing those.

What will Raspberry leaf tea actually do? I've read so many different things, like it doesn't help speed up labor just makes it easier when it actually comes.

Well, you're 37 weeks. Technically, labor is already going to be soon for you! [; I would just relax and wait it out. It'll come faster than you think. Unfortunately, nobody can tell you when your labor will be or if it will be soon. (Unless you're being induced/have a c-section) Doctors are even off sometimes. You could have several signs and still be later than your due date. I'm not meaning to sound discouraging or anything. I know we all get excited for our baby's special day! But try to enjoy your last few weeks, maybe days, of pregnancy. [: it'll be over soon.

At 37 weeks she's considered full term, it would be perfectly fine if her baby comes now

At 37 weeks, you should be trying to keep her in there longer. Think about baby.

More walking and at a incline baby will be here soon once you lose the plug and are having consistent contractions it's all about dilating if it's your first don't rush to the hospital better to wait it out at home where your more comfortable, walk for hours and that baby will be here tomorrow... Congrats
