Feeling like I'm about to start period at 37 weeks

I've been crampy, having sharp pains down there and the weirdest part is I'm getting waves of sweating down there, like I have to poop or like I do before/during my period. I try to poop but really can't. I was pooping a lot for the last few days so I don't think I'm constipated. Had groin/hip pain lastnight and I've noticing more BH today along with the period like feeling. Could this be labor starting??
