Potential early labor?

I have intense chest pains and very faint cramps around my lower stomach often not always noticeable. If I’m honest I’m not 100% sure if I’ve lost my mucus plug yet? I have had a high increase of discharge the past few days to the point Ive needed to change. What is this? Is it possibly early labor? I’m a ftm and 37+4 now

Potential early labor?

C section infection

Hello! I’m currently almost 6 weeks postpartum. For 3 weeks I’ve been dealing with an infection in my c-section wound and it just doesn’t seem to be healing. I’m on my second round of antibiotics and also have a steroid cream but the infection isn’t clearing up and I’ve now noticed that part of the wound has opened slightly. Did anyone else have issues like this and if so, what help to solve it eventually? I’ve convinced myslef I’m never going to fully heal!

Declining extra ultrasounds

I am 34 weeks 1 day! I have only had vaginal births. This is my third pregnancy. They always do extra ultrasounds for me since my first pregnancy I gave birth to a IUGR baby. Could never find out why my baby was so small. My 2nd pregnancy was normal and healthy and I didn’t have to do any extra stuff!
This pregnancy everything is normal so far thankfully, but at my last ultrasound at 32 weeks my baby was breeched, no big deal he still has time to flip and according to where he is kicking he definitely is head down again.
Yesterday at my regular OBGYN appointment I turned 34 weeks!! And one of the OB’s I see kept talking about induction and c section because he is breeched. I said “My 2nd pregnancy my daughter went head down right before she was 36 weeks” but the OB insisted that he was running out of room.
But even this doctor said “Everything this pregnancy looks wonderful so far except for him being breeched” she didn’t touch my stomach or anything to tell his position. Today I get a call that I need to have weekly BPP ultrasounds because he’s breeched this was never mentioned to me at my appointment.
I SWEAR these OB’s are trying to get me to be induced or have a c section because there are TONS of women pregnant that go to my OB. I am refusing a c section and I have decided that I am declining the extra ultrasounds because he is normal and I swear he is head down again. They seem to be trying to find something wrong with me or him because last month I had to have multiple ultrasounds just because they “couldn’t” get good photos of his heart, kidneys, and brain but EVERYTHING came out normal.
I am so stressed. I cannot do anymore ultrasounds I just want to enjoy my last month or two of being pregnant!!!! I am scared of telling them that I’m declining because I am 100% a people pleaser (unless it comes to my kids) but I’m sick of them searching for things wrong! They NEVER did this with my last pregnancy.

I NEED TO ADD I STILL HAVE AN ULTRASOUND TO GO TO SO WE CAN SEE BABY’S POSITION so it’s not like they aren’t going to see where he is.
