Hi! I am almost due and am dilated a little with no mucus plug. Tonight I have a lot of pressure (down there) I get sharp pain real low that kinda feels like the baby is pushing down and im wondering if this is just normal pain in pregnancy or a sign of labour??

I started feeling this when I was in labour. It might make you feel better if you call labour and delivery and ask them with your situation do they think you need to come in now or wait a few days. I don't remember losing my plug at all, and was dialated for 6-8 weeks, so that part doesn't always mean anything, but the sharp pains could very well mean you are in labour now.
Call and be on the safe side.
Good luck and congrats.

Do not panic and rush to the hospital, particularly if it is a first baby. Pressure is natural, this kid is large now and pressing on all sorts of stuff.
It could be Braxton Hicks contractions, sort of a labor warm up.
You should certainly alert your OB about this sensation, but do not be surprised if he isn't too excited.
If your water breaks warm up the car and grab your bag.
If you feel pain, or think you do, time this, and tell your doctor.
Soon.

If you feel a sharp pain which you earlier did not,you are dilated and you also feel like the baby is pushing down...you should call your doctor.
