I'm 16 and 39 weeks pregnant

I need help , i was 3 cm dilated on Tuesday and 50% effaced and soft and -3 station and I lost my mucus plug. How long do yu think I have until I go into labor? My midwifes say I might have my baby before my due date but I don't see that happening. I have terriable head aches and my back hurts all the time. My belly gets hard all the time which I know are braxton hicks. I can't stand being pregannt anymore ;( I've had morning sickness my entire pregnancy. .

Hi.  You can have contractions in your back too.  You will notice that when you are in labor that your contractions are rhythmic.  You can start to time them.  If this happens, prepare yourself . . . the event is upon you.  I was less dilated than you and had my baby 8 hours later.  It can happen fast.  

Good luck.  I'd have your support team (mom?) on call.  Happy baby

Could be any time now. Try to go for a nice long walk and see if that gets things moving around for you it seems to help a lot of people go into labor especially if you ate already having some contractions
