This is probably a silly question, but at 39 weeks can I be in labor and only have mild contractions?
I assume it is different for everyone, but I don’t want to dismiss these just because they are mild and be in labor without knowing.

maybe you could have a high pain tolerance, i think i do because i completely ignored my contractions for hours and showed up to an appointment already 5-6cm, i finally realized i was feeling contractions but it just felt like period cramps to me haha. i would just try to track them if you can

Yes they can be mild in the beginning. My water broke and it took a while before I actually started feeling the contractions. When I did 8 minutes apart and they were very mild until I got the pitocin which made them closer and they became more intense
