Don't take my word for it but it sounds like you might be in the early stages of labor

If it was me I would probably see if I couldn't get in in the morning just so you know what is going on but let them know you don't want induction, it is probably baby engaging more though

I would rather be seen as paranoid than miss something that is critical going on.  If your right around your due date and having pains that could be labor, I would get an appt to see your doctor early at the very least.  I know my doc is a bit frustrated because I had false labor pains last weekend and I didn't call to let them know.  I just waited until my Tuesday appt because I knew what they were.  She told me NO MATTER the time of day, if anything ever happens that she might need to know about, to call.  She needs to know at all times whats going on to make sure to give the best care.  I would make the appt just to make sure.  Neither you or your doctor want to miss something vital.

If i were you i would wait until contractions are closer together or your water breaks! I kept going to the hospital for my first one, but nothing really happened until my water broke then they have to keep you! Plus you'll be more comfy at home as long as you can!
