period like cramping

Lauren

im 36+2 and i can tell the baby dropped about a week ago because i think i have to pee constantly, tons of pelvic pressure, increased discharge, and increased intensity of braxton hicks. this morning i woke up to what felt like period cramping that lasted a couple hours on and off and stopped. has this happened to any of you and if it happened in previous births, how close to real labor did it happen? Thanks!
