Is this labour starting?

I’m almost 37 weeks. These past few days baby has dropped low and I can feel lots of pressure low down in my pelvis. Today I’ve had diarrhoea (sorry for the overshare) and the pressure has intensified, but doesn’t hurt - just heavy. I’ve had a few cramp feelings but nothing regular or painful. Could this be the start or is it just normal at this stage?

Hi
I'm not sure but in the same position as you! I'm 37+ weeks first baby and have had 2 days of loose stools and lots of Braxton hicks. Thought everything had stopped today but the last couple of hours I've had horrendous back ache radiating into my tummy. It's so painful I can't do anything or speak when it comes.
Good luck to you I hope this is it for us both! X x

Sounds normal to me. It means you're in late pregnancy but doesn't mean labour is imminent as such.
