39 weeks/ baby is moving but no signs of labor

Hi all!!

Today I am 39 weeks!! My baby is moving A LOT but I do not have any signs of labor. First baby!! Can it come so unexpectendly or shall I have symptoms? At NHS they do not induce you so easy, so  I guess I have to wait two more weeks?!!
Any thoughts?

Thank you!!

I didn't have any symptom before going into labor with my first pregnancy. I went to bed on night and woke up a few hours later feeling damp. Went to the bathroom and nothing.. Back to bed and again a very small amount of water coming out. Then my first strong contraction.
Called midwife to tell what was happening and told me to go in but to take my time.
I wasn't in active labor until 4 hours later but that was how it began for me.

I will be 39 weeks tomorrow.  Getting induced Monday.  There is no way to know if you will have signs before you go into labor.  Since every labor is different and unique. Good luck :-)
