37 weeks and things just got odd...?

Sorry if TMI:

Tuesday I was 1cm/50% and things seemed normal. The next day the Braxton-Hicks picked up in frequency, duration, and strength, but they're not at all regular and don't hurt. Thursday I started having a lot of discharge in the morning (every morning until today) and the smell has gotten stronger (it's been different through most of the pregnancy just got stronger Saturday).

I hit 37 weeks Saturday...

Last night I kept getting sick (which I didn't even do the first trimester) but it was never more than a small amount in the back of my throat/mouth. Diarrhea kicked in last night too & I've been having a ton of very soft movements, though not diarrhea since about 2AM.

I've been dizzy most of the day but my office is really hot & often makes me feel a bit off...

Sound like I should be worried about problems or hopeful the end is near?

Update:

Blood pressure is perfect...has been the whole time (my hubby is a paramedic so he checks it all the time)

There is no way to enjoy this. I have "moderate" hydronephrosis, meaning my uterus is pushing on my ureter and slowing the flow of urine from my right kidney causing it to fill with urine and swell...it is very painful but they won't do anything about it since it is not bad enough to cause kidney damage at this point.

I want what's best for her first, but I really need her out :(

    Sounds like I was at 37 weeks. Delivered @ 40 =) Just the usuall sucky preggo symptoms about that time. I know you can't hear it enough, but ENJOY the time you have before the baby! Oh and P.S. I was dizzy too and my doc said if you're seeing white dots you might have high blood pressure that day so just watch it and try to relax. I do office work too =) Congratz on your little one. I loved the delivery. Seeing her face was worth all those discomforts

    LOL. Wow, your pregnancy sounds JUST like mine! I was misserable =( And yeah, my blood pressure was just fine the whole time too. LUCKLY I had a doc that I talked into inducing labor @ 40 weeks. I know how bad you want her out, but once my lil girl was out, I wanted her back in =) Good luck =) Try to talk to your doc. n2 inducing, just let her know you're in alot of pain I hope that works for you! Remember though, you asked for it! =)

    Could be labor or something more serious, you usually don't get diarrhea during labor, and you don't have a foul smell if the discharge was a green or black/brown color, you should seek emergency care that could be a sign that your water broke and that they baby may have had a bowl movement. But no matter what you need to care your ob/gyn and let them know what is going on as soon as possible.

    Not yet - you've still got a way to go. I'd guess you'll come on in a couple of weeks.
