Default Sensitivity to light and headaches during labor?

So I've been feeling tons of pressure, lost my mucus plug a few days ago, and have been having irregular contractions. Because of my baby's positioning, I'm guessing, I'm feeling a bit out of breath a lot, and trying to walk around as much as possible, but it's very painful. My discharge has thinned quite a bit overnight, and I've probably only slept about 3-4 hours per night for the last 3 nights because of discomfort and insomnia. I took a warm bath in hopes that it would relax my lower back pain, but no go. I've been having a pretty nasty headache all morning and extreme sensitivity to light, and I'm a complete mess and can't seem to pull it together. I also have had some horrible dreams, and haven't felt my baby move all morning. I'm not supposed to see my doctor until Tuesday, but if I haven't had the baby by then, he's stated he wants to schedule induction. I am almost 39 weeks. Is all this normal, or should I make my way to the hospital just to have everything checked out?
