You body is preparing for labor. It won't be long now :) Walking may help encourage the contractions...but also get rest while you can...you will need it :)

A walk will help thats why we are encouraged to walk around the labour wards while in early labour

Sounds like it might be early labor. Take 2 tylenol and relax because your baby is coming soon!
