Upset stomach as an early start to labour?

I've had an upset stomach all morning, quite bad and I know this to be an early sign for labour. I've also had lower back pain, although this could be to do with the upset stomach. I'm 38+2. Just wondering if it is labour how long before my contractions kick in?

Did anyone else have upset stomach as their start to labour?

It can be days or weeks or imininent! Just don't know I'm afraid hope it is sooner rather than later for u :)

Labour can go on for weeks...u will kno when ur in active labour as u will hav a job too walk. I had a bad tum a few weeks b4 but they say its ur body clearing itself out in preparation for bitth.
