Start of labor?

I'm 36 weeks + 4 days for like 3 days now I've been having period pains (in my stomach and back) that come and go but have been getting more frequent each day. Ive been having headaches, seeing stars, feeling sick, swelling of the hands and feet and just wanting to sleep all day. This is my first baby and i dont know what to do. Ive been pretty healthy all pregnancy, normal blood pressure, no diabetes and ect. What could this be? If its a sign of labor getting ready how long did you guys get these symptoms before going into labor?
