Is my labour imminent?

Third baby so you’d think I’d know. I’ve had back period pains for a couple of days now. Been going to the loo loads. Now starting to get mild period pains in my stomach. Had a growth scan today and the head is so low we couldn’t get a measurement. Consultant checked me over and said my cervix is closed by it’s really short so thinks when I do start it’ll be very quick.

My waters broke with DD2 shortly followed by contractions. DD1 I had what I have just now but had a bloody show and strong contractions within hours. This seems the same but days rather than hours!

It could be the start but equally it could just be the pressure of baby's head being low and engaged. I felt like this for a couple weeks before DC.
