I am 37+6 and last night I think I experienced contractions for the first time. I felt off all night feeling sick and then around midnight I had 5 lots of really intense period pains which would only ease if I was rocking, crying and breathing through them and this lasted for about an hour and then since then I've slept and I've had nothing else. Is this normal?

Could be prodromal labour, which is quite normal! https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24163-prodromal-labor
I’d say rest up and just keep an eye on symptoms, and remember triage / your midwife is there to support!
