early labor?

for the past week and a half i have been having contractons on and off. and for the past few days the pressure has become almost unbarable. its like my cervix is gonna rip open. Also the baby has been turning the past like 2 months from breech to not then back to breech. im not sure which way he is now but i think he might be breech and the more he moves the more pressure i get and the more it feels like im gonna rip open. plus i have been very gassy the past week. is this early labor? what are other signs of early labor? And is this normal?

anyone? sorry its my first pregnancy....

how far are you? signs of early labor are, waters breaking/leaking, bright red blood, timable consistant contractions. the cervix pain is unforchantly just a part of pregnancy, sorry love, not going away till baby comes most likey.

im 37 almost 38 weeks. If he is breech could him kicking downward cause my water to break too early?
