Labor near?

Hey July mamas. I am 39 weeks 6 days. For the past few days I have had lots of pressure in my butt and inner thighs. I have also been having more loose stools a couple times a day. For the past two days I have been having TONS of painful Braxton hicks and now lots of period like cramping. Last time the doctor checked I was 1 cm dialated and 70% effaced. I have not lost my mucous plus that I know of. Anyone else have these same feelings and labor happened soon after?
