Preterm labour symptoms

Hi! I’m after some advice hopefully! I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about (I hope) as I’m only
31+1. However for the past 2 days I’ve had such bad lower back pain (worse than usual) and it really hurts when I turn in bed or get up on the sofa or out of bed etc. The pressure in my pelvis has also got much worse / heavier and kind of also feels bruised in a way? I’ve also had much looser bowel movements (diarrhoea). I also feel like I have loads of Braxton hicks (although I’m not sure what a normal amount is per day) as my stomach contracts a lot more lately (I’m aware because whilst it doesn’t hurt it does make my chest feel tight when it happens).

I had pelvic gridle from 23 weeks was left unable to walk at term... this is how I started... they do not make women aware of this condition.. have a look into it.
