27 weeks got bad period like pains

I’m 27 weeks pregnant today, for the last couple of days my body’s been experiencing period type pains. This morning on waking up these pains feel more intense then previously, also with the pain going down the top of my thighs/legs

Slightly worried now, as I’ve read this could be a sign of labor?

What would u lovely ladies suggest please?

I know most will say go and get checked by maternity, which I’m planing on doing sometime today.

Do u think I’m over reacting and it’s just part of this pregnancy.
