Contractions/ Brixton hicks or just baby moving?
Evening! I’m 37+3 and I keep every 2-3 mins getting a wave of like period like cramp that only lasts about 5 seconds but stops me in my tracks and takes my breath away. This has started when I was harvesting colostrum. Other symptoms I’ve been having over the past few days is back ache, I’ve been vomiting with no warning (I don’t feel unwell from this I think it’s baby crushing my insides) and have regular bowel movement. Sound like anything to be concerned about?

I have very similar symptoms - my cramps have intensified today to waves of mild contractions- my midwife said these are all symptoms that labour is hopefully not too far off. Especially also the loose/ regular bowel movement as it‘s your bodies way of flushing out before baby. So these are all good signs :).
Sounds like your body is preparing for labour. Your symptoms are very common.
