At 38 weeks, is the uterine pain a sign of labor?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal to have uterine pain at 38 weeks, or does it mean I'm about to give birth?

Doctor's answer:

This generally indicates the possibility of labor. You can observe the duration and interval of the pain. Usually, if the pain only occurs when moving, it is not yet labor. However, if the pain is frequent and the interval becomes regular, occurring about every 10 minutes, it is likely that labor is imminent.
Hello, your condition is very likely pregnancy. It is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. You can have a blood HCG test or use a home pregnancy test kit for self-checking.
