42 weeks pregnant

Is this labour? I was on and off all day yesterday with “contraction” discomfort. But I’ve been woken with painful “contractions” my tummy goes completely rock solid and I cannot concentrate on anything but the pains. Is this finally the start or is it false?

Has anyone experienced sharp pain in Upper Right abdomen

6 weeks pregnant. Since this morning, I have sharp (but bearable) pain that comes and goes, around the gallbladder/kidney area. Way above the uterus so I wonder if this is even related to pregnancy or not. Got a gastroenterologist appointment for the end of Feb (no earlier appointments available 😵‍💫). Would you be…
