Is it a sign of labor?

Anyone get lightning crotch really bad before labor? I keep having pains in my cervix and lower belly but it’s not unbearable or anything. Just annoying. Or is that contractions?! Im assuming it’s not contractions because he’s kicking and stretching his legs up at the top of my belly. I’m 39w and 2 days, and this is my second baby, but he is a lot lower than my first. With my first it felt like I just had to go use the bathroom type of cramps, had bloody show, and then about 6 hours later the real contractions and labor started. My first was born 40w2d
