Hi. You are at term pregnancy.37 weeks is considered term maturity for the baby and your tummy is fully stretched at the moment pushing your diaphragm up. This causes discomfort(not equal for everyone)and more acid in stomach leading to gastritis and the gastric motility is reduced. This is the reason for nausea and it also causes constipation. The distended uterus irritates bladder as well and you feel like going to bathroom again and again.
You can get contractions any moment and it seems your cervix is favourable for. Keep a regular check with your treating dr. and follow her advise. Thanks.
