Well Im nine months pregnant my due date is February 3rd and everyone thinks Im going to go before my due date ( the doctor as well) and I think this too. All day I have felt so uncomfortable and just weird cleaned my room ( nesting) the carpets everything and no matter what way I moved couldnt get uncomfortable. I was up literally all night last night until about 5am and got up not even 5 hours later, are some of these somewhat signs its gonna happen soon?

It sounds like it. Have you lost your mucuous plug yet? That's usually a pretty good indicator that you will be in labor within a matter of days/hours.
I know that it will be extremely difficult but please try and get some sleep. Also make sure you eat before you go to the hospital. I felt so wired when I was in labor for 12 hours at home before going to the hospital--too wired to eat--or so I thought-- and I wished I had eaten. Once you get to the hospital they won't let you eat. You need your strength for what your body is about to do. It's an amazing thing. Good Luck!
ETA--Don't worry about your mucuous plug--not everyone notices it when they lose it--or some ladies just have stubborn plugs-LOL! The belly tightening could be contractions---I had a lot of false starts in the days preceeding my labor. That's what a contraction sort of feels like---a belt tightening and then loosening--with a lot more pain obviously--but don't worry about the pain--you'll have time to recover between contractions--and it goes by so fast with such a great reward at the end! You know of course that if the contractions become consistent and are closer than 5 minutes apart to call your OB! :) I'm so excited for you!

That happened to me to, near the end. It felt like I had a 10 pound brick in my belly. One position that helped was laying on my side with my knees bent. I didn't sleep much at the end either because I knew the day was coming soon and I was pretty worried about everything. Just try and hang in there, it will be over soon.
Congratulations!

When I had my daughter, I went through exactly the same things. And about 1 week later she was born. Okay, I was 2 days over my due date, but all your signs are the same.
Good luck and let us know how everything went at your doc appointment

I went through that a week before my due date and I still ended up going 2 weeks past it and needed to be induced. Hang in there, you may still have a little time.
