Answer

Definitely sounds like labour is about to start.

Answer

So it sounds like your starting labor pains. Heating pads will progress the labor instead of calming it. Both of my pregnancies my labor pain was on my lower back that then would continue to cramp in the front plus pressure etc. I really think you should time each and see if you are 8 mins apart or less then call your doctor you more than likely need to head to the hospital soon. Best of luck!!
