Help! Is this maybe labor??

Hey follow mamas!

So, my doctors office won’t answer the phone and I had to leave a voice mail...so looking for some peace of mind...

First pregnancy, so, of course, I have NO idea what pre-labor or labor feels like or what to look for. And I’m 34 weeks, 6 weeks left to due date.

Symptoms:

9:30 am - menstrual like cramps - light and dull but consistent

12:30-1 - more intense and noticeable cramping along with painful pressure right smack dap in the middle of my lower pelvis when I walked.

1:30-2:30 - walking was not easy and cramping still going on. Not pain but again just really bad menstrual like cramps that you can’t ignore and started feeling tightening in my belly.

3 - cramping in my lower back and even more tightening in my belly on top of everything else.

I don’t think I need to go to the hospital, water for sure hasn’t broken (I think I would notice that) but is this just the uncomfortably of being 34 weeks pregnant or is this what the first signs of labor look like???
