Anyone just feel really weird before / during early labour?

I feel faint and lightheaded and just all round weird! I’m 39+6 and have had only minor cramps for the last week but I feel completely weird. Nauseous, lightheaded and shaky. Is this a sign of things getting going or am I just completely exhausted and have low blood sugar?
I didn’t really do early labour with my first, woke up 4 cm with my waters breaking and within an hour was in active labour so not sure what the very early stages feel like
I’ve called the midwife and she is popping over.

We have the exact same due date and I’ve woken up this morning with a lot of pain in my tummy and I’ve been having what I think or contractions but they’re not very regular at all. I have been tracking and timing them on the app that I’ve got downloaded. I did have a sweep on Thursday as well so I think this could be the early stages for me. I didn’t dilate or have contractions with my first pregnancy, so I think what you’re feeling is quite normal. Let’s hope this is the start of things for both of us. Good luck x

Awww bless you well I wish you all the best. I’m seeing the community midwife tomorrow for a second sweep so hopefully It kick starts something as my contractions are sooooo irregular at the moment x
