period pains

40 + 1 and i think I've been having period pains for a good part of the day. i woke up this morning and my entire body hurt so i had a bath. after relaxing the rest of my body i noticed i was kinda crampy/ had pressure kinda above my pubic bone. now i don't exactly remember what period pains feel like so its really hard to describe what im feeling, so im guessing in describing them as period pains. anyways, does this possibly mean labor soon?? what should i do? rest or bounce on my ball? its pouring rain here amd im in so much pain from walking the past few days i don't want to walk anymore but if it'll put me into labor i will.
