Back ache coming and going

I’m 39 weeks and 5 days, and I woke up this morning with diarrhoea, period like cramps and a back ache that keeps coming and going regularly, lasting about a minute each. I also started to lose bloody mucous 12 hours later. It’s been about 19 hours since it all began.

Am I experiencing early labour? What is this back ache that’s coming and going like contractions?
