What am I feeling?! First pregnancy

Ok I am 37 weeks 2 days.I am having what feels like a bad stomach ache every other thirty minutes and sometimes it's worse or better than the previous one. I am once a week appointments now and My next one is this Friday.

My midwife told me that I only need worry if the pressure is 5 mins apart and increases in intensity, I start leaking fluids, have menstrual like bleeding, or there is a decrease in fetal movement.

If anything, the exact opposite is happening. I feel the baby move more than he ever has this entire pregnancy. Could he be sensing my anxiety and excitement to see him? And what are the pains that I am feeling contractions? Not really sure and don't have the gas for false alarms.

i never had this but my girlfriend has had 4 children and with each of on them she would get stomach aches and pardon the graphics but diarrhea until she was "cleaned out" and would go into labor within the next week. Its weird but its true, 4 times it happened the exact same way.
