38 weeks with potential labor signs??

Keandra

So I’m 38 weeks and have been having period like cramps that start low in my belly and wrap around to my back and “bottom” since 36 weeks. I was checked at my 36 week appointment and was already dilated 1 cm but hadn’t started to thin out. Since then the cramps have gotten more frequent and now I feel my baby’s head very very low in my pelvis. I’m hoping I go into labor sooner than later cause this momma is tossing in the towel 🤣 anyone else have an experience like this and end up going into labor not long after?
