Lower abdomen aches and pains?

Last night I think I went into false labor, I also lost my mucus plug last night also. I laid down to go to sleep, and I had really bad lower abdomen pains, and it wouldn't go away for about 3 minutes, even when I changed positions, and got up and walked around. It finally stopped but hadn't had pains like that since, but all day today I've had a dull aching constant pain similar to the pain I had last night? I'm 36 weeks pregnant, and i'm just wondering if this could be a sign of early labor?? Or could it be just the baby engaging and A LOT of pressure causing this pain?

i did that about a week before i got induced. talan was so big when he was engaging it felt like he was ripping my hips apart..

i wish i could help but i might be having a similar problem. im due 2 days before you.. i have bad pains in my lower stomach and pelvic region but they get worse when i walk around.... idk what the mucus plug looks like so im not sure if i lost it yet... but i have been having discharge(TMI) alot.. could be an infection tho... im not sure.. hope my dr can let me know whats goin on at my next apt...

I have had that and I am due the same day as you. My guess would be it is the baby dropping but yesterday I also had contractions for three or four hours.

I don't know if this will help at all, haha, but my nurse was telling me that if you feel like you are having contractions to walk around, if they go away they are more than likely Braxton Hicks. And if they get more intense..they're real.
