Hello
Health care magic user
I understood your concern and My opinion is that
if you are having continuous stabbing pain which is gradually increasing in intensity,frequecy and duration than its definately sign of labor pain , because you already has reached 39 wks and in majority patients labor pain start at this gestational age.
i will advise you to go to near by gynec hospital and get admitted and do Non stress test to see fetal well being

I hope my answers help you
Thanks
