Has anyone experienced these symptoms shortly prior to labor? Breech bub so being watchful!?

Girl sounds like you are close! If I were having pains I would call the doctor because cramps are a first sign of contractions. I remember having braxton hicks contractions and sometimes they were mildly painful but no real pain. Also it sounds like you have lost your mucus plug! I lost that the day before I went into labor. Good luck momma, I would phone the doctor in the morning just to make sure!
