Are these signs of labour already??? 35 weeks

[Ttc321]

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone can help distinguish what I am feeling.
Not sure if it's braxton hicks ? (I'm 35weeks+3days).
Having period cramping on and off (not consistently) and not painful just a nagging ache .. feeling pressure down below & also in my bum! Belly is tight.

Is this normal?

I had that and was 9cm by the time I got to hospital. I was just shy of 35 weeks and they told me they won't stop labour after 34 weeks in most cases. I would phone your local triage centre. Have you had increased bowel movements?
