Is it too early ?

I'm 35 weeks and 1 day today . And for the past week and a half I've have very strong Braxton hicks and baby has dropped within the past few days 😣 there's been times where I thought I should go to the hospital but I just waited it out . With my first I never had Braxton hicks , I didn't drop until 39 weeks and I was induced . Is this normal to be seeing labor signs this early ? I have been working since the beginning of my pregnancy so maybe it's making me go into early labor ?
