39 weeks pregnant

Hi everyone,
I have a question, maybe one of you can help me. I'm now 39+2 weeks pregnant and since tonight I've been feeling nauseous and sweating profusely. I've taken a bath to see if it helps, but the symptoms haven't eased up. I don't have a fever, but I do feel occasional intense pressure/stabbing sensations in my vagina. The baby has already dropped, and I've had diarrhea for a few days now. Is anyone familiar with this?
Greetings!

    I'm not that far along in my pregnancy yet, but if I were you, I'd call the midwife. Just to be on the safe side.

    I’d also give them a quick call just to be sure if it’s making you anxious. I remember having diarrhea and all that before my last birth too. Like a sort of cleanup before the delivery

    From 36.5 weeks I had a pressing feeling and sharp pains down there. The baby had also already dropped.

    After that I also got contractions that came with sharp pains down there. Also, with false labor, a little fluid comes out which can cause diarrhea.

    I was induced at 38+3 and have had discomfort until now. In the meantime, I already had softening and 1 cm dilation. So maybe it's the start of your labor.

    With some false labor, I also felt warm and towards the end of the pregnancy I was nauseous more often. So much so that I lost my appetite.

    Here exactly the same Sophie. No diarrhea though.

    I'm also 39 weeks along and sweating like crazy for the past two nights.

    Yesterday I had a lot of pressure on my vagina and lower back, and I lost the mucus plug.

    Greetings,
    Evi
