This will sound stupid.... help

Ok, so this is my fourth. BUT I have never gone into labor and have zero idea any signs of labor. Here’s the situation tonight. I have extreme pressure and cramping that is all the way down my leg. It’s not sciatica (I’ve had that for years and that’s not this). I have mild period like cramping. I have not lost my mucus plug and my water hasn’t broken. Could this be the start of early labor? Does your water have to break? I feel stupid because it’s my fourth and I should have some sort or idea 🤷🏻‍♀️
