Feeling crampy

Tiffany

I'm 37 weeks pregnant, today I've noticed off and on in no particular pattern I've been feeling a little crampy. cramps like I'm getting ready to start my period is the best way I can describe it. They aren't pain full just dull and noticeable. I had the feeling this morning it lasted for awhile. Now the feeling is back. Does this mean labor is near? Anyone had this experience??
