Labor starting or no? Painful Kicks and scratching feeling in vagina?Day shy 38W.

Tomorrow I'm 38W. And for the past few days the pains have became more frequent and more painful. I feel the baby move and either before his movement or after his movement I get this really sharp painful kick / scratching feeling in pelvic vagina area?
I feel like he's coming out. Clawing and pushing his way out type of thing. Its been so intense lately it makes me gasp it even causes pains in my thighs and is uncomfortable to sit or stand. Lol sometimes i feel like its even towards my butt sounds so weird to say but that is how low and strong i feel the pains. I didn't get it with my daughter. Is it normal? My lower back has also been aching really bad. Could it be a sign of labor trying to start or no ? :(
A few days ago they said he was positioned would he still be or could he move his way around this late?
How did some moms coop with the pains if they got them? I feel like my body locks when I get them I wanna drop to my knees sometimes its so painful.

Any pains that take your breathe away need to be addressed by your Dr right away. I haven't heard of painful moving being a sign of labor but that doesn't mean it's not possible baby will be here soon. Call your Dr and try to relax the best you can meanwhile
