My mom thinks I’m in early labor but what do you ladies think?

Today my upper abdomen has been extremely stiff like a Braxton hicks, not painful but just really stiff and uncomfortable. But the thing is, it hasn’t stopped at all. Like at all. It’s making me so uncomfortable that I’m struggling even when laying down because my ribs and back are fading in and out of pain because of it as well. I’ve also been having a light, almost period like cramping inside of my tutu on and off since yesterday along with the regular nerve pain from how baby girls head is sitting on my pelvic area.

At my 37 week appointment this Tuesday my OB said that my cervix was really soft and thin and he can feel her head with his finger. He also said that when I go into labor I’ll very likely hop right into a 3-4 cm dilation.

My water hasn’t broken, I did loose some of my mucus plug two weeks ago and have had some discharge since. I can feel baby girl moving now that I’m laying still in bed but for most of the day today I only could feel her move a could of times and it was very small movements and small hiccups.

So would you ladies say that this is early labor or something else?
