Is this early labor or just totally normal and the baby won’t come for a couple more weeks?

Currently, I’m 37 + 3. So while sleeping I woke up to pee because I was experiencing pain and then I felt ALOT of pain in my public area and what felt like a contraction of sorts, I almost fell over. Then it went away once I got back into bed. Maybe experienced the same thing an hour later. Then baby started moving around like crazy and it really didn’t feel good. He’s definitely sitting very low right now so I understand that’s causing some extra pain. The past 24 hours, I’ve noticed some clear goopy gel a couple times when I peed, but it was little. But just now after two or so painful contractions of sorts, I peed and got a big heaping clear goop that it flopped on my hand. 1. Ew 2. Sorry TMI lol Is this my mucus plug? Could this be early labor or do contractions come with baby moving so so low? Or can the mucus plug be lost when he moves so much with Braxton hicks? I’m trying to time them, but they’re like an hour apart so I know either way they’re no cause for immediate concern. I’m just feeling light contractions now. I ate something because all of his movement made me feel like I needed to throw up and got heartburn. Any thoughts??

Get in to the ob. You might be in labor sounds like the plug is gone and you cold is almost ready

The sudden pain really low could be round ligament pain, it’s excruciating and can come out of the blue with movement. BUT it’s soooo hard to know so yeah it could be the start of labor! I would wait and see if you get more contractions. It’s so hard!

I’d definitely call the doctor. You could be leaking amniotic fluid also

Well I decided to wait one more hour to see what happens before calling since my partner and I were so exhausted and I ended up falling back asleep and the contractions all stopped. Any thoughts? Should I still call the doctor?

Go in to be safe I’d say.

Thanks ladies for all your advice!!! I ended up calling and they were like that’s all normal 🤷🏻‍♀️ and not to be worried unless there blood, my water broke, or contractions are consistently 5 mins apart, or baby stopped moving. But he’s been moving so I guess everything is fine for now!
