Cramping and back ache

[Changedmynameo]

I’ve had cramping and back ache for about a week now, maybe more. It’s really bad when I wake up but then gradually lessens during the day (but definitely still there).
I didn’t labour naturally with DD so don’t really know what to expect. Is this a sign of things getting ready to happen or no indication of baby being born soon? 37+3

I had cramping and backache but only when I was heading into labour. Have you spoke to a midwife?

I haven’t, because I haven’t had any other symptoms and assumed if they were contraction related I’d be told to just keep an eye out for more of a pattern.
I do have an appointment with my consultant on Wednesday.
A part of me thinks it’s can’t not be anything! But then another thinks it must not be as it’s been going on for so long and hasn’t come to anything
