Waiting to hear back from my ob so just curious if anyone else has been there - and of course it’s Friday afternoon so options feel limited.

I’m 39w and noticed yesterday persistent itching on the right side only of my back. It kept me up last night and today feels more like nerve pain, still itchy too. Unfortunately it reminds me way too much of when I last had shingles (I was in my 20s then! My immune system is not so great). No rash yet, but it didn’t start that way last time either so I’m hoping to get antivirals and nip it early. My 3yo also gave me his cold (and I feel like junk but who can tell what’s what at 39 weeks anyway??) so probably all in my immune system is just overmatched.

Trying to back away from dr Google ... I feel like labor is not far off because I’ve been passing mucus/show since yesterday morning and had tons of painful contractions yesterday, just didn’t stick around yet. Maybe illness will put it off though.
