beginning of labor? help!

I'm 36.5 weeks, and 3cm dilated since last week. I had contractions every 30 min last night until 2 hours ago when I got up and walked around. They had been waking me up but only felt like menstral cramps. Also felt nauseated all night and pelvic pressure.
I was so tired I passed out from 7 to 9 . It's almost 10 now. Also her head feels even lower since I woke up and my vagina looks more open. IS THIS LABOR TODAY OR TOMORROW??

Thanks everyone! I was so convinced it was the real deal but contractions went away so it had to be false labor. The on call Dr said not to come til 5 min apart. We are 45 min from hospital so it makes me nervous but I guess they know what they are talking about

Sound like false labour. And your vagina won't look any different the changes happen on the inside.  When you have a really good contraction you'll not be able to walk or talk till then just enjoy your last few weeks.

Once pain gets worse and 10 to 5 mins apart for more than an hour is real labor

It sounds like your in labor. I would call and speak with the l&d or you're ob to see what they want you to do. Good luck

Sounds like your body is getting ready. You could go on like this for a few days. I would go in and get checked but until you 5-7 min apart your not really in active labor. You best option is to get checked and see what they say.
