period like cramps

I'm 37+5 and today I've been having what feel like bad period cramps. What does this mean? Went to the dr last Tuesday and am dialated 1-2 cm and 50% effaced. I haven't had a baby in 8 yrs so its kinda like I'm doin it all over again. Also been having some back pain. Anyone that can tell me what's possibly goin on would be greatly appreciated
