Heavy Sensation In Vaginal Area During Pregnancy. Is It An Indication Of Going Into Labor Soon?

Hello, I am 36 weeks pregnant with my first child. Over the past 48 hours or so, I have begun feeling a "heavy" sensation down in my vaginal area- similar to the achy feeling I used to have during heavy flow when I had a period. My question is whether this feeling is any indication that I will go into labor and deliver soon? Thank you!!!

its unlikely that your in labor. this symptoms does not even relate to falls pains which come 2 to 3 wks earlier to expected date of deliverywhich vl be dull cahing pain lower abdomen radiationg from hip to the medial aspect of thigh in groin area.
