Period like cramps in legs?

Ok 36+2. Had to be induced with my first and didn’t feel a single thing until I was at the hospital. This time has been so different. I feel BH at night a lot (for weeks). Baby has dropped and I get pressure on my bum at times (feels like I need to poop). Anyways to the question when I get my period I get cramps in my upper thighs. I’m starting to get very very mild ones (that feel like the beginning of my period does) every so often. Is that normal?
