Early labour?

Hello ladies! 35 weeks 4 days, 2nd baby.
Since last Friday my ever increasing braxtons started to get a little bit of pains attached to them. Not always but since then it's happened quite a lot. Yesterday I had some loose bowels and then for the rest of the day I was convinced I'd have diarrhoea again (tmi) but nothing came. This then turned into lower back ache and more pains last night.
I woke in night with back ache too and then this morning I had what I can only describe as period pains. That heavy feeling you get as though it's a drawing ache, when having braxtons. It's eased again to but I seem to still have this feeling of needing the lav and then nothing. I am continuously weeing though. Baby is very active an I've had no waters leaking and no show. Any ideas? Is it just pregnancy?

I found I had much stronger symptoms in the run up to my second labour - v similar to the symptoms you're experiencing. They lasted 2-3wks and in the end DS was 4days early. Walking around and sitting on the yoga ball bouncing helped ease things. Good luck!
