is this the start of labour?

[NicBenson]

I'm 39 weeks tomorrow, for 3 days now I've had constant period pain and lower back ache! Last night these pains actually woke me up more than once and I was so uncomfortable! I'm getting sharp stabbing pains also down there with the period pains, this morning I was also sick after drinking my cup of tea :( I've had lots of braxton hicks last couple weeks which have started getting more intense but not too painful. Could this all be the start of labour?

Yes it definitely sounds like the start, such a pity it's going on so long for you though but yes it can go on for days.
Could you try going off out and walk? See if it increases the pains.

I hope it doesn't go on too much longer like this! I've had a bath and paracetamol which hasn't helped either so I may try a walk see what happens, I'll also go on my ball to see if that helps!
