Cramps & pressure.

Hi ladies, I'm 34w5d and for the past few weeks I've been getting cramps, but for the past few hours I've had them more than usual & they've lasted longer than usual. Also, I've been feeling lots of pressure in my pelvis & vagina and I constantly feel like I need to pee or something. And I've been feeling the urge to use the restroom often today (#2) & I've already went 3 times. I'm a ftm & I'm assuming the cramps are Braxton hicks, but idk because at 30wks I was in the hospital being monitored & got a preterm labor shot because the cramps I was having was uterine irritability (mini contractions). So idk if that's what's happening again or what. I go to the dr in the am, but just wanted to see what you ladies think? Thanks. :)

Walk just keep walking if you want the baby now. And once you sit down CRAZY pain will come & then you know for fact your in labor.

Yeah I'm still experiencing the cramps, they've been constant for about 2 1/2 hrs now. I tried drinking water & laying down & changing positions but it didn't work. If it keeps up throughout the evening I may end up going to the hospital to get checked just in case

My little man also hasn't been as active as usual today. I've read that babies usually become less active when labor is near or happening. So could it be that or just one of his lazy days?
