contractions?

So I'm 38 weeks pregnant today and I'm laying down right now on my left side And I'm getting sharp pains on my lower right side of my back and it kinda goes down my leg as well .. could those be contractions?

I'm 35 weeks and get the same thing! I was told the baby is laying on a nerve that runs down my leg into the top of my foot I can barely walk after work

I'm 2 days from my due day and tried everything I'm so sick as well. Suppose they just come when they want the tinkers

I had these and it turned out to be siatica (sorry about spelling) common later on in pregnancy. Would definitely get it checked out though.
