37 week pains

Hi there I've currently just turned 37 weeks with my first baby and recently I've started to get some aches and pains for the past few days, they come on on a night time and also a morning. At first they started out like period cramps (I felt like I was about to come on!) now it's a bit more sharp pains really low down in my abdomen and I feel them especially when the baby is moving around.. could this be the baby dropping or round ligament pain? It keeps me awake 😔
I'm so nervous I have a midwife app next Wednesday but I haven't had one since I was 34 weeks and she didn't explain anything to me about starting to feel some aches etc..

I’m getting these now at 36 weeks, this is my second. I had them with my first too. Think it’s baby engaging as he feels really low down now.
Could you give your maternity unit a call? Put your mind at ease? Always best to check with the professionals.
I did mention period pain to my midwife and she wasn’t concerned.

Fixing pains
Round ligament pain
SPD/PGP
Braxton Hick
Contractions
There are potentially a lot of different types of pain towards the end of pregnancy.
