6 lbs at 36 weeks is a normal weight.

if u have contractions every 5-7 minutes that continue to get stronger, then yes u are in labor. but otherwise, it is normal to have lower back pain and all that you describe because the baby now has probably dropped and is getting ready to come soon. im 35 weeks and have felt what you felt since 33 weeks except i was constipated  :( id say just prepare yourself now for ur little one! good luck  :)
