Early labor signs? 34 weeks

So a little background. I’ve been almost 3cm dilated and 50% effaced for over a week now. I’ll be 35 weeks on Monday and doc has restricted my activities a lot. She said I’d be lucky to make it to 38 weeks.

For the last 3 days I’ve had painful period cramps that come and go, with very painful contractions mixed in. I’ll have 3 every 10-15 mins but then they’ll stop. This happens intermittently throughout the day.

Does this sound like I might go into labor soon? I have to arrange for a family member to be here to watch my 1yo and I’m scared it might be sooner rather than later..
