Sign of labor?

in March 2013 Moms
I am 37 weeks and 3 days and have been feeling a really dull ache, sort of like period pain, in my lower regions. I thought it would go away, but has been there for almost 2 hours now. I've had Braxton Hicks for a month now, so I don't think it's a contraction, but not quite sure if it's the beginning of labor. Anyone else have this feeling?

    Well, because everyone is different, it maybe wise just call your OB and talk to the nurse or doctor about it. They have you come in for a quick once over. This is my first, so, that is what I would do.

    I had that pain a few days ago, and it turns out I just needed to go #2.  But everyone is different, if you are concerned I would call in.

    Youll know labor when it starts. It could be the beginning of it, who knows, but not a reason to call IMO. Mine stresses to call when your water breaks or when you have consistent contractions 5 minutes apart for an hour or more.

    I have been having this a lot lately, this last weekend especially- I read someone say that their MW claimed these types of aches lead to dilation/softening- not sure how much of that I believe but I went in today and was 1cm/50% so maybe there's something to it? If it's increasingly painful, doesn't go away while drinking water and laying down, or starts coming rhythmically I would call your doctor. And heck- call them anyway if you're concerned, that's what they are here for. My OB told me to call her if contractions were 7 minutes apart (this is #2 and it comes quicker) even if they weren't that painful and she'd have me come in and get checked. If I didn't live 45 minutes away and have a 4yo DD to handle I would take her up on that but I'd rather stick it out if I can.
