sharp pains in the vaginal area.. 36 weeks pregnant

It started off when I'd walk around or something but now its even happening when I am sitting or laying down.. my ob did say my babys head is pretty low but I am not dilated as of last Friday.. could this be me getting closer to labor???

If the pain feels like a electric shock pain.. Its the baby dropping n engaging his head in ur pelvis

I don't think so as I'm only 29 weeks and I get them all the time. My ob just said it was normal for baby being head down. But good luck!
