What are signs of labor?

Im 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant, my due date is in 2 days, 4th july

I had my midwife today, did usual check up (no sweep when i thought i was getting one) but what i want to ask is after appointment my pelvic area and lower back started to hurt alot , i blamed the walking home (was like 5 mins) but once home still really sore to move at all and from my knees and below its tingly numb

Had anyone had this before and know what it means at all???

Sciatic nerve is inflamed. Very common with pregnancy.

I’m no expert however it kind of sounds like you could have pinched a nerve in your lower back. I’d call your Dr and see what they have to say with how far along you are. Good luck!!!

Baby is pressing on nerves

Sounds like you may be starting labor. It can start in your back.
