No sign of labour at 39 weeks.

Week 39 day 3. No contractions or symptoms of labour yet. However, i just had diarrhoea today, is this a sign of labour? Should i opt to be induced if lets say theres no progress by week 40? This is my first time pregnancy and hope to get some tips/advices. Thank you!

I was supposed to be induced on her EDD (40 weeks) but my contractions started the morning before. Eventually I had to undergo emergency c-sect to save both me and baby’s life. My baby came out 3.7kg. If I were to choose again, I’d choose to let it happen naturally. I heard induced is much more painful. And I have a low threshold for pain.
