Has 3rd labour felt different for anyone?

So I’m 35 + 5 today and for the past week I’ve been having the usual pressure but tonight haven’t stopped having tightings and pressure lasting around 20 seconds they feel stronger than braxton hicks I’ve had before but not as painful as labour pains I had with my other two so unsure if I should call to get checked out? I had back labour with my other two and was in agony but this baby isn’t back to back so unsure if it could be early labour signs? Has anyone else ever experienced this with a 3rd labour?

Sounds possible... are they coming regularly?My 3rd labour started recently with some light spotting and then the first contraction around 5 pm. I didn't know initially if it was a contraction as it was quite mild and it took me an hour to decide to get checked out (as scheduled for an elcs). By 6 they were still v mild but 10 mins apart. By 8, around 5 mins apart. So was whipped in for my cs. So they quickly gathered in intensity and pace unlike 1st labour where i lost my plug and things moved much more slowly!
