Menstrual-like cramping, lower back pain and cervix 85% effaced?

Been having menstrual-like cramping on and off for a few days. Yesterday had it pretty much all night that I was awake Did manage to sleep a bit, though!

Had a check today (standard doc's appt: I'm 37 plus 5) and was told my cervix is soft and 85% effaced - only about half a cm dilation, though.

Anyone else had this and when did labour kick off for real? This is DC3 and I'm pretty much ready for the baby to come prontissimo now - so tell me your I Went Into Labour Really Soon After Having These Symptoms Stories!
