im 36 weeks pregnant and the last 3 days i have been getting really bad back ache which feels like im having contractions in the lower of my back but after a few hours will stop and leave me with just a dull back ach, im also getting sharp shooting pains in my vaginal area and if i place my hand on the start of the pubic line i can feel the babys head pushing up, and also im having contractions in the front of my pelvic area which again will keep coming and going but they are quite far apart, iv been feeling very sick and have such a killer headache, could i be going into labour is this early labour. this is my first baby and have no idea what to expect with the start of labour, im not to sure if the baby has engaged yet or if im even dielated as my midwife hasnt told me anything like that yet! can any one help with uidea what they think this is could it possibly be labour?
