I need some advice girlies! This is my second pregnancy and my anxiety has been through the roof. I had my first baby at 37w2d perfect pregnancy and delivery. I’m currently 35w2d, but measuring 36w6d. On Wednesday I was 2.5 cm dilated and the week prior I was at 1 cm. Fast forward and the last few days I have been experiencing pretty bad lower back pain that is sometimes consistent and sometimes random, shooting pains in my pelvis/downstairs area, consistently feeling wet (I cannot for the life of me tell if i’m peeing myself or what), I believe baby dropped but I cannot tell due to how high my cervix is, I can feel baby moving but they don’t feel as hard, and feeling like I need to go #2 but nothing ends up happening. What would you guys do?
I’m debating on going to triage, only because I don’t want it to be a waste if that makes sense. Are these reasonable suspicions to make the trip?
A little backstory with my first, I went from 3cm to fully dilated within a week. My water did NOT break like they tell you it does, I simply leaked and they had to finish breaking it for me.

I would go in especially if you are leaking fluid!

Call first before going

I would go

Call first. That's what I was told by my obgyn. Don't just go.
