36 weeks + 4 days

Ga
For the past week and a half now I have been having contractions everyday, some days are all day, like yesterday, swollen hands, feet, shooting pains in my vagina, and what not. Yesterday I was having contractions and pains all day to where some I couldn't even walk. So I went in and got checked out, I was told I am not dilating yet, they checked me twice, nothing. They did say my contractions are very regular 3 minutes apart but nothing to put me into labor, so I was sent home being told that I may just be starting early labor, and was told anything could change in the next few hours, up to days, I am measuring two weeks ahead along with my baby she is a big one lol. Let's see what my doctor says tomorrow, I have an appointment tomorrow for a full exam. Has anyone ever experienced this and went into labor anytime soon after? (Keep negative comments to yourself, thanks in advance)
