Could these be signs labor is coming ?

So I started having contractions yesterday around noon. When I hot home they got worse but were sporadic. Today I have been feeling a lot of pressure and back pain so mom and I went for a walk and the contractions came back. Now we are back inside and I'm back to pressure and back pain. Could these be signs of labor ? I'll be 36wks on sunday.

It did help. I called l&d and was told to just drink more water and lay down. My contractions are sporadic so she said once they get to about 3ins apart then I should go in

Yes it can be, as well as it can just be pressure from the baby . I know this didn't help much, but speak to your doctor to know for sure
