Will it happen soon?

Been attending hospital every other day for CTG and doppler as I have a few small issues with placenta and low fluid level. However, everything appears to be fine when they check results of scans each time.
Anyway, last Wed the midwife looked at results of CTG and said to me "do you feel those tightenings?" - I didnt!! Then i saw in my notes that she had written irregular uterine contractions.
Today again it says "irregular uterine contractions" and a different midwife asked if i was feeling tightenings - when I thought about it I realised I was but just assumed it was baby pushing my ribs. Anyway, I watched the midwife walk away with the CTG results to another midwife and she said "look, 38+5wks" and they both raised their eyebrows and said "oooh!!" as in "ooooh, exciting".
BUT no one said any more to me! What do you think? Did they see anything to indicate that labour could be close? Im fed up waiting!!
