uterus & low back pain

hi!! im 36 weeks today (with my first) and just started to notice on and off lower back pain (kind of like what happens before you start your period) and also cramping/pain in my lower abdomen. the pain isn’t severe or intolerable and tends to go away with tylenol, it’s not in a pattern or comes and goes like contractions. its usually constant for awhile. i also noticed that it hurts down there when i walk around, not necessarily pelvic pain but still lower abdomen soreness/fullness?? could this just mean that baby has dropped or maybe labor is near?
