No it wont: I don't think so. You are 39 weeks- soon you will be in labor. Your painful cramping that woke you up were likely contractions. You may be in labor any time. Take it easy and enjoy your baby soon.

No: Monistat could not hurt the baby. You could be starting labor. Follow dr. Directions if you are having regular contractions.
