Is this the beginning of labor???

Ok so I'm 39wks and tonight I've gotten absolutely NO SSLEEP. My lower back has been hurting along with my vagina to the point I can't turn onto either side with out alot of pain. Everything in my body actually feels tight. I'm using the bathroom none stop and experiencing  some diarrhea. Baby has been also moving alot which isn't really normal after a certain time of night. I know I haven't felt any contractions but I want to know if labor is near. Is this normal?? Or am I just tired of being pregnant??

The pain in your vagina while turning sounds like pelvic griddle pain.. ppl get it at different time.. I've had it for months. So that is just normal.. the back pain. If you didn't have that before an you didn't do any straining then it might be a sign.. diarrhea also but usually happens days or weeks b4 delivery. But because you are not getting any contractions it's probably not indicating that labor is around the corner.. but should happen in less then 3 weeks since your 39.

It's possible. Call Dr. My first time I did not feel contractions and my water broke at night at the same time I had to use the bathroom. I honestly could not tell the difference between the 2. The only way I knew my water broke was undies kept getting wet and yep sure enough it was time at 38 weeks and 6 days. Good luck!
Congrats!

This definitely could be maybe ask your Dr an see what he/she says. Some people don't feel contractions and if your a first time mom it might be hard to really know what it feels like. When your body usually is feeling tight that could be a sign of labor. Good luck and Congrats!
