Does this mean labor is closer than due date?

I have a lot of pain in my pelvic area. Honestly I can't even walk. It hurts and feels sore at the sametime .  What does this mean I'm 35+5 ?

It means your baby is laying really low AND resting on your cervix. I had it for 5 weeks! I couldn't walk, sit, lay down, I couldn't even turn over, its a nightmare! And when I went in to finally get checked if I was dilated I was only half a centimeter!! Sorry but it doesn't mean  labor is coming, just a that baby's super low. The good thing is if it hurts that bad you won't have to push as much! My doctor wanted to induce me because she was so low I wouldn't make it to the hospital and it was true! If I hadn't gotten induced she would have been born in the car because I didn't push even once! She pushed herself out while I was turning in my hospital bed it was painful ! So I can't imagine what it would have felt like if I had to push for hours..

Ive had such terrible aches and pains since about 28 weeks and theyve only gotten increasingly worse. I can't even stand up without a big wake of pains.
I am now 38+6 and still no sign of bub!
Baby may just ge putting a lot of pressure on your pelvis, it's very common to get a lot of pains. :)

It just means your baby is pressing down on your cervix, the feeling could last weeks. It doesn't really signify labor coming early, but your body is preparing.

I went in today but it wasn't hurting as bad so I didn't ask bout it . He said he wouldn't check if I'm dialating until 38 weeks. But it's honestly so bad rn I can't walk

Baby is getting in position for labor. You should ask your doctor to check if you're dilating on ur next appointment
