Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query carefully.
As per details,
You are at term right now like 40 weeks and 2 days.
It can be the initial phase of your labour.
I would advise you to monitor your pains, do not ignore it.
If they increase by 3 contractions per 10 mints then i would advise you to visit hospital as soon as possible.
Then its confirm labour pains and you need a Gynaecologist for supervision.
If you experience any unsual symptoms then I would advise you to visit Gynaecologisy immediately.
Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you Good health.
Regards
