Baby Movement Pains!

I'm currently 37 weeks and 5 days, and I've been recently getting these crampy pains (period like) that started about a week ago. I know it doesn't exactly mean labour is right around the corner but I wish it was because, when these happen, my son decides he's going to move as much as possible. When he moves, I'm in so much pain that I'm unable to do anything. They hurt so bad, it almost feels like he's going to split me in half or just rip right out 😩 The last time his movements hurt this bad (before right now), I almost fell over because I couldn't bear to stand, my husband had to support my weight! I mentioned this to my midwife today and she said its normal, but I'm scared of driving half the time because he hurts me that badly! Please tell me I'm not the only ones go experienced this 😩
