I'm currently 39 + 5 pregnant due on friday and my baby has been really active where it hurts is this a sign of labour starting soon ?

Activity in labor: Usually baby begins to move a little less during the late parts of pregnancy, just because they are a bit cramped. If this is your first pregnancy, it is reasonable to be concerned, and not know when labor will start. Contractions feel different for everyone, but typically the entire abdomen gets really hard, and it will hurt. You may also lose your mucous plug as the cervix opens. Good luck!
