37 weeks +2 days

Hi just looking to see if anyone else has had this before, so I’m 37 weeks and 2 days today and for the past couple of days I’ve not been feeling great lots of lower back ache and some period like pains but also some strange feelings like I feel hungry but don’t want to eat anything! And just overall just don’t feel right in myself.

Then since yesterday evening after going for a wee and wiping the tissue been like a pale pink/yellow colour but not like discharge just watery. Could someone please help me do you think it’s early labour or possibly an infection? I’ve added a picture so you can see what I mean ☺️

Baby dropping?

Idk if it matters but I feel like my baby has dropped a bit? My pelvis aches more and my bladder seems sensitive/like I have to go more often. So excited now! Also has anyone had a discussion with their midwife or doctor about a membrane sweep? I was curious to ask my midwife some questions about it.

Going to an event out of town at 35 weeks

I have a friends wedding which is about a 3hr drive away. Is this cutting it too close to due date to be travelling away from hospital? I could try drive there and back in a day. Not sure what the protocol is so any advice would be great.

Post c section healing..

I’m not sure if it’s because I went into spontaneous labour before my planned c section or what but has anyone else suffered pain wise post c section? It’s only day 4 but honestly struggling with the pinching/ jolt stabbing pain on the left side of my incision when I move around and sit down. I know it’s only day 4 but people make out c sections are ‘easy’. Also have such horrendous tailbone pain (which could be from where I was having back contractions). I just want to feel back to normal and feel this is slightly taking away the newborn experience plus my toddler has reduced play from me as I can barely function 😩
